    7zip used as

    7z e nodelist.z08

    results in

    Nodelist.108 (0 bytes)

    Isn't that enough to drive you dippy.

    I get weird behaviour from 7z command-line too, but eventually it unpacks just fine:

    Hello Alan,

    7z e nodelist.z08

    results in

    Nodelist.108 (0 bytes)

    Isn't that enough to drive you dippy.

    Doesn't the Windows file manager support zip natively?

    But zip and unzip from the command line should be easy to use (I think).

    I get about the same weird result as August:

    But afterwards there is a correct unpacked NODELIST.108 file.

    When I rename the NODELIST.Z08 to NODELIST.ZIP, it unpacks without complaining:

    Everything is Ok

    So it seems 7z gets confused by the .Z08 extension. It probably thinks it's file 8 in a multiple file archive...


    Bye, Wilfred.

    Alan,

    Yes, I think it does.

    At least in the GUI.

    The second I intstalled a trial of winzip my system was hijacked by it.

    But, it won't do a CLUI.

    BTW everyone, 7zip did work.

    It worked on the first instance I used "7z e nodelist.Z03".

    The others resulted in 0 byte files.

    Anyhow, I tripped over the unzipped file when I was trolling around for something else.

    Now I will try it in the OpenXP.

    I hope it works.

    Alan

    What do you mean by 'hijacked'?

    Winzip became the only compression utility on my system.

    I just uninstalled it and will see if anything works better.

    That is most probably it! You are good at this. ;)

    The screen dumps helped.

    Zippy is more like it!

    During the Archiver wars of the twentieth century, someone came up with a
    joke archiver that created a 1 byte archive. Claimed it blew any other
    archive format out of the water.

    Also, if memory served, said they were still working on the unarchiver. :)
