how to extract winzip files?

2004-02-23 Thread Martin Vana
Hello,
Is there a way, I can uncompress zip files made under win? 
Unzip from ports collection probably can't do that:

End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.

and I'm sure this is not multipart archive or broken file.

Thank you
Martin

Then something else is wrong since unzip() can handle such files easily.

It should.  My guess is the file you're attempting to unzip is corrupt
somehow, or simply not a ZIP file at all.  Try running the `file'
command on it, eg.

$file /usr/ports/distfiles/ue400dev.zip
/usr/ports/distfiles/ue400dev.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

 End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
   a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
   latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
   the last disk(s) of this archive.
 
 and I'm sure this is not multipart archive or broken file.

I suppose it's possible that more recent versions of WinZip generate ZIP
files that can't be decompressed (or decrypted) by InfoZip's Unzip, but
I'm fairly certain that Unzip wouldn't return this error message as a
result.  The central directory should still exist in the ZIP file.

Regards
Andrew

If this was a zip file created by WinXP itself I seem to remember having
trouble unzipping such files with unzip.  I resorted to using winzip or
winrar or some such to create archives - which then extract fine using unzip.
