Follow-up Comment #1:

Can you report the error you get as well?  When I try your code in
octave-4.4.1 I get this:


octave:1> dlmwrite("out", pi) ;
octave:2> 
octave:2> zfile = "out.zip" ;
octave:3> zip(zfile, "out") ;
octave:4> unpack(zfile) ;
octave:5> 
octave:5> zfile = "outz" ;
octave:6> zip(zfile, "out") ;
octave:7> unpack(zfile, [], "zip") ;
error: unpack: FILE "outz" not found
error: called from
    unpack at line 93 column 9


The error is not really with unpack.  The zip() function automatically adds
the extension ".zip" to a bare text filename.  When zfile is "outz" the result
is "outz.zip" which then unpack can't find.
