z/OS V1R11 Library unzip problem
I ordered z/OS 1.11 electronically. I downloaded the following 3 times using HTTPS. IBM Online Library: z/OS V1R11 and Software Products DVD Collection, September 2009 Download to your workstation in KITZIP format - (k3t4271n.zip)(5375.0 MB) The ZIP file ended up being over 1GB on my PC. My problem is that I'm unable to extract the files using WinZip or WinRAR. I receive this error: Cannot open file; it does not appear to be a valid archive. I don't know if this is because the ZIP file is too large or because it's in a format that WinZip doesn't recognize. Has anyone else successfully downloaded and unzipped this collection? Any suggestions? Or maybe the file really is just corrupt.

Also, browse it with a hex view like HexEdit. (www.hexedit.com). The first 4 bytes should be x'504b0304' ... The first two bytes are PK in ascii. If not, the zip file is bad.

Re: z/OS V1R11 Library unzip problem
I know it is wasteful, but I usually order twice. First time electronic to get the mainframe software, then I order again on 3590 Media, because then you get all the off platform CD/DVD physical media too. My last order had 57 images for download/burning, and that was just for TWS and MQSeries. I realize that I don't have to burn all that media, but the problem here is finding a place to store even just the images for possible need later, since the order expires in 14 days or something like that. I was in a meeting with IBM at one time, and suggested that they allows for physical media on electronic download. They thought it was a good idea, but probably never went any further. _ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Rabbe, Luke Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 3:41 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: z/OS V1R11 Library unzip problem I ordered z/OS 1.11 electronically.

Re: z/OS V1R11 Library unzip problem
Luke, if the file doesn't begin with the two characters PK then it's not a ZIP file. Also, the last thing in a ZIP file is its central directory so if you didn't get the whole file then Winzip and other UNZIP programs won't be able to process it correctly. In your post you say.. .. Download .. - (k3t4271n.zip)(5375.0 MB) -and- ..The ZIP file ended up being over 1GB on my PC I would have expected you to say: ..over 5GB on my PC so I'd take that a a strong indication that you only have about the first 20% of the whole file.
