Check the return code and any error messages or warnings output.

Although opendir() / readdir() would be more portable.

It looks like you're on Windows given the names (?); but you haven't specified
drive letters in the paths, are you sure they're on the right drive?

Are you on Linux? If you're running Windows, that code won't work -
because Windows' directory structure doesn't work like that, you need to
specify a path with drive letter, etc.

If you're on Linux, make sure you have an executable file called pkunzip
in the /home directory and that the file you're trying to unzip,
'arch.zip' is in the /, or root, directory.
