Zip file too big for MS Windows?
July 7th, 2007
Got a zip file the other day that some one had made on windows. The contents of the zip file was a 6.5 gig file that had been compressed to about 3.5 gig. Well the built in “zip” program in Windows can not open it for some reason. Neither could unzip on Solaris or Mac. Well 7Zip came to the rescue and allowed me to open the file. Granted it took almost 20 minutes to decompress it, but it opened it. Not sure why Windows sucks so bad, but it does.
