Thanks to all who responded:
I recommend that the ZOPE 
installation instructions at:

http://www.zope.org/Download/Installation/Binary

be changed from:

"...On Unix:
untar Zope ./install -u edit access ./start ..."

to something like Doug's suggestion:

>The Linux download is a tar.gz file.  To look at what files exist (a good
>practice to check directory structure and as a security precaution):
>'tar -tvzf Zope-1.9.0-linux2-x86.tar.gz'
>To uncompress and extract the files:
>'tar -xvzf Zope-1.9.0-linux2-x86.tar.gz'

I was "thinking inside the box" by assuming there was
UNIX: tar and untar 
as there is in the 
DOS world:  zip and unzip.
