Title: Spanned file
Post by: cdbrown on December 18, 2002, 02:04:47 am

I have downloaded a spanned file with extensions of .zip, .z01, .z02, .z03 and so on.  What do I need to join them, winzip didn't work.  Files came from a reputible source, unless they were corrupted by the download manager.  Any help on this?

Cheers

I have the same question.  I stopped downloading them until I found the answer.  Have you tried zipmax or 7zip from the clear mame site?

Just a shot in the dark, nothing useful really.

I haven't, but I will in a little while when I get back to the PC with the files on it.

WinZip 8.1 will do it.  Earlier versions don't.  Upgrade.

Compression in the following formats: ACE, ZIP, LHA, MS-CAB, JAVA JAR, GZip, TAR, GZippedTar
Decompression of: ACE, ZIP, LHA, MS-CAB, RAR, ARC, ARJ, GZip, TAR, ZOO, JAR

has decent compatibility with most of the common compression types.. and it is real easy to use..
