Re: Unzipping *SAVF in IFS

Hi Jon,

The error message seems to imply that only part of the zipped file is there. As if you transferred the file, and it got cut off in the middle. That's what the error message says.

Also, the JAR tool is, IMHO, a bad choice for unzipping stuff. It supports only a subset of the ZIP functionality. That's often enough to get you by, but it's worth noting that it's just a subset. Plus, it runs at "java speed".

Lately, I've been using 7-Zip in PASE, which supports all (or nearly all) of the ZIP specification... though I guess there might be some WinZip specific features that it doesn't? (I haven't used WinZip since I stopped using Win98, so a lot may have changed.)

Anyway, if you want to give 7-zip a try, I have it here:

But my gut feeling is that the problem is due to part of the zip file being missing -- in which case, you may have a much bigger problem on your hands.

I have found an example (using jar) in the archives of zipping a savf.
What I can't find is a way of unzipping one that was created with
(probably) winzip.

I tried:

jar tf xxxx.zip

To see if it could at least list the content but that resulted in:

java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

Can any of you PASE literati point me in the right direction. Google
is not my friend today.
