WinZip I have downloaded a large zipped file. On unzipping it, there were a number of zipped files inside. These all had the extension .z (rather than .zip); otherwise, the icon was that of WinZip. Yet my WinZip program would not recognise them. Please, can you help ? Best Regards, Martin Holt theholts@care4free.net |
I thought the simple answer would be to manually add the zip at the end of it & try to unzip them. Make a backup 1st if uncertain. |
WinZip Thank you for your message. I did try that but still no joy........ |
This is what I came up with: http://filext.com/detaillist.php?ext...&Submit3=Go%21 |
PicoZip Thank you very much. I can now open these archives, but I cannot extract them. I'm not familiar with this. Do you know how to go on from opening them ? |
I really don't know!!! I did a google & these were my results: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...e+Search&meta= http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta= http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=e...G=Search&meta= I don't know what application they belong to but ... it's got me. Are you sure it's not a unix based app.? |
Thank you Thank you very much for your help. I'm sure they are not Unix files.........I think: how do you tell ? |
Filename Extensions Traditionally, .z is used for files compressed with a Unix utility. I read this before, but I found it here also: Quote:
pack is the name of a program/command commonly found on Unix systems. I thought WinZip handled all common compression schemes, but maybe not this one. In the past I was able to find all kinds of freeware for Windows that would decompress anything. Just look for something that handles packed files. |
Thank you Thank you. Having tried everything I could, I left it, thinking that they must be Unix. Thanks for your message. |
