tlug: question about zip executables

["Eric S. Standlee" <fwiw3980@example.com>]

A friend sent a winzip exe file and I was wondering how to open it.

File says:  hp990509.EXE: MS-DOS executable (EXE), OS/2 or MS Windows
unzip -l gets:
Archive:  hp990509.EXE
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  can't find zipfile directory in one of hp990509.EXE or
        hp990509.EXE.zip, and can't find hp990509.EXE.ZIP, period.

TIA,
