I have a big zipfile that I am trying to unzip witn archivers/unzip.

$ unzip -ql file.zip             
warning [file.zip]:  6682546438 extra bytes at beginning or within
zipfile (attempting to process anyway)
  error [file.zip]:  start of central directory not found; zipfile corrupt.

$ ls -l file.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 hans  hans  10977521995 Jan 18 18:24 file.zip

I am pretty sure the zipfile is OK. Given that the fie size
minus the "extra bytes" is very near 4GB, could this be
a 4GB file-size problem? If so, would people please recommend
an unzipper which can go beyond 4GB?

        Thank you
