This redirection syntax is bash-specific and the [ ! $? ] test simply
won't work, since "test" is not like C.

  type pax > /dev/null 2>&1
  if [ $? -ne 0 ] && [ -z "$ZIP" ]; then

I would suggest the somewhat cooler:

  if [ -z "$ZIP" ] && ! type pax > /dev/null 2>&1; then

but it won't work with deficient /bin/sh implementations like Solaris's,
although it should work with any POSIX shell (such as the
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh on Solaris).
