Zip files over 4 gigabytes

[Nexus]

Hi,

I have zipped some directories to more than 4 gigabytes and when I try to
use them they say damage or corrupted file. Can you please help me with
unzipping these as they have important business data in them.

Thanks,

Nexus

What unzip are you using? Try a different zip program:

IZArc

ZipGenius
http://www.zipgenius.it/index_eng.htm

7-Zip
http://www.7-zip.org/

ICEOWS
http://www.iceows.com/HomePageUS.html

TugZip
http://www.tugzip.com/

AlZip (FREE for home users)
http://www.altools.net/Default.aspx?tabid=47

I have used TugZip, and 7-Zip, but don't have experience with any of
the others.

Standard ZIP format doesn't support ZIP files > 4GB. It is a limitation
in the internal formatting. You need to use 64 bit ZIP for that.
