Gads no!  It's:

for i in *zip; do unzip "$i"; done

And realize that if *zip expands to a command line that's too long this 
will fail.  (I tried to blow up bash on Linux recently and couldn't 
(though I did run out of memory) but with ksh on Solaris 8 this is easy 
to do.)

How about -o?  (You do have the man page, don't you?)  And in case you 
don't want to overwrite fonts you can use -d to put stuff in an out of 
the way directory.
