Combine ZIP files created by PKZIP for multiple diskettes

Post by Blue Hornet »

I have a ZIP file formerly created by PKZIP (in 1996) to span two diskettes. Unfortunately, I no longer have diskette drives, so I would like to combine the two pieces of the ZIP file into one file on my hard drive which I can then UNZIP normally.

I tried the Split and Combine plugin to attempt this, but that didn't work. Any other suggestions, please?

Thank you.

Ofcos this plugin doesn't work for you. Google for pkzip, get the tool to combine your files

No problem, it should work with Servant Salamander. There are two ways to do it:

(1) either rename files to

archive.z01, archive.z02, ... , archive.z(n-1), archive.zip

and enter the last part of the archive,

(2) or rename the last part of the archive to *.zip and enter it. While upacking dialog windows will popup to let you select another parts of the archive.
