Winzip using command prompt

Im writing a script and need help. I need to extract a file using the command prompt. Are there commands to extract files or unzip files(without downloading any add-ons)??? Let's say i have a file named 'test.war'. Inside that file are more files but i need one of those files named 'app.mf' which can seen as a text file. I can get that file if I manually open 'test.war' using winZip then open 'app.mf' (opens in notepad). But i want to use only the command prompt to do all this. I want to extract that 'app.mf' file to another folder. Any ideas? Thanks.

It looks like u need to install something or else u won't be able to unzip with cmd. If u have winzip pro go download the free addon, if u don't....try this, don't know if it works anymore or not (it was made for win95).

**be safe

good luck
