Problems with unzipping and zip

[wvsa]

Good day to all;

Have a problem with using zip to zip files. Downloaded the latest version of zip yet when I try to use zip get the following message

zip GC*
zip warning: missing end signature--probably not a zip file (did you
zip warning: remember to use binary mode when you transferred it?)

This file was created by sas, that shouldn't be problem. Any thoughts as to why this is happening?

Regarding the problem with unzip, downloaded the latest version of unzip for hpux. When I try to unzip a .zip file that has a file greater than 2gigs unzip stops and tells me that I'm out of space. Well thanks for playing that's not true have 30gigs of free space and the large files ouption is set on the mount point, have 7gig files in the same directory. So once again would ask for any help you might provide. Can't use gzip or compress vendor does not support these.

So any help that can provided will be greatly appreciated.

I don't use zip but gzip. That being said isn't the command for creating a zip archive actuall zip then the ziparchname then the file list you want in archive or .zip file?

> zip GCarchive GC*

Good luck with the 2gb limitation of zip, you may have to work around that with smaller archive files.

Would it be possible to just unzip the files on a windows box and then transfer them to your HP-UX machine?

You could also try downloading the latest version of PKZip from PKWare. They have demos available for Unix:

Hi

The issue looks like with the size limit, you need to use a different version of unzip which can support files larger than 2GB, I think they are downloadable of the web.

Actually have not found any "un-zippers" for HP-UX 11iv1 that do not have the 2gb limit.
Anybody?

Download gzip for hp-ux from following link:

Hope it helps you.
