[comp.sys.ibm.pc] unzip help needed

ardai@bass.bu.edu (Michael Ardai) (06/01/90)

I have just FTP'ed over a few .zip archives and I am having trouble unziping
them.  Any ideas where I could ftp an unzipper that will work on them?
(I am trying PKUNZIP version 0.92).  Some elements extract OK, but most 
fail with the message 'Warning! I don't know how to handle: xxx.xxx' and
pkzip -vt shows the compression method as Unknown.  Thanks in advance.

I hate it when this happens...  I just grabbed a copy of pkunzip version
1.10 (European) from wuarchive that solves this problem.  It turned out that
the elements in question needed to be 'exploded' and apparantly 0.92 doesn't
know how.  Sorry about that.

I believe that you forgot to set to BINARY.
