Yeah, I’ve done that in the past, but I didn’t have any luck in this case.
Stuffit Expander, the built-in OS X archive utility, and another zip program
failed to unzip it successfully. The unzip utility reports the following:
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
In any case, it’s all water under the bridge now as the
complete.zip file has been
identified.
Thanks,
Jim
