Re: Joining Archive



Hello,

Thanks for the correction on the Windows Compressed Folders handling spanned
zip files.

However, WinZip is not free software. The evaluation version is only to be
used for 45 days.

This is not free software. Subject to the terms below, you are hereby
licensed by WinZip Computing, S.L. ("WinZip Computing") to use for
evaluation purposes only one (1) copy of WinZip, on one (1) computer or
workstation, without charge, for a period of 45 days after you first install
WinZip on any computer or workstation. If you want to use this software
after the 45-day evaluation period, you must acquire from WinZip Computing
for a fee a single-user license or multi-user license for WinZip. Refer to
www.winzip.com for information about Standard and Pro license pricing,
multi-user licensing, and ordering options. Use of WinZip after the
expiration of the 45-day evaluation period without acquiring such a license
from WinZip Computing is outside the scope of this License and a violation
of U.S. and international copyright laws

If you go past that and continue using it, you will be violating the
agreement.

Hello,

Probably WinZip was used, but many other zip utilities can be used
too.
To open the zip file, try opening FILE.ZIP or file.zip.001 in WinZip
(Not free) or your preferred zip utility.

That's a set of "spanned" files, meaning they were broken up to live on
multiple CDs or floppies, whatever. Only the .ZIP file can be opened
successfully. Have them all in the same folder when you run winzip.
If it asks for one of hte files, just point it back to the folder where
that folder is. I think the process is, zip, then gets 003 where the
final index is located, then back to zip, then 002, then 003, and finally
assembly.

BTW, Winzip IS STILL FREE as long as you don't mind the screen nags.


Not sure whether Windows Compressed Folders can handle it though, my
guess is no. If you can't find File.Zip, maybe you can try renaming
File.Zip.001 to File.Zip and see whether that Windows recognizes it
as a compressed folder.

It won't. The proper headers are missing.

Pop`


Note that I have not tried this before, so if it fails, just rename
it back.

I downloaded one file, splitted to few files, with names
FILE.zip.001, FILE.zip.002, FILE.zip.003
They downloaded OK (I assume), but what's with the three-numbered
extensions after the .zip? Not clear, what program has been used to
split this files and how to join this archive?

Thanks.
