Re: Unzipping *SAVF in IFS

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
