- PKAZipFix - RECONSTRUCTING ZIP FILES
-
-
- PKAZipFix is a simple to use utility that takes advantage of
- the extra reliability of the ZIP file format to reconstruct
- truncated or damaged ZIP files. The ZIP file format was
- designed for high reliability, using 4-byte signatures for all
- file headers, and redundant distributed and centralized
- directory structures.
-
- PKAZipFix, however, cannot create good data out of bad data!
- If a portion of a ZIP file has been corrupted, PKAZipFix will
- allow recovery of the unaffected files. Depending on how badly
- damaged the ZIP file is, one or more files may still extract
- with errors.
-
- PKAZipFix should be used when PKAZip indicates that a ZIP
- file is in error, or a ZIP file has become damaged. PKAZipFix
- can also be used to extract the ZIP file portion from a
- PKSFX self-extracting file.

- | zipfile = The name of the ZIP file to be |
- | reconstructed. The .ZIP extension |
- | will be assumed by default. |
- | |
- | |
- | PKAZipFix will attempt to recover zipfile, |
- | and will create a file called PKFIXED.ZIP |
- | which contains the reconstructed ZIP file. |

-
- The file that is created by PKAZipFix, PKFIXED.ZIP, can then
- be extracted or listed with PKAZip. IT is strongly recommended
- that you then use PKAZip to create a new ZIP file from the files
- that are extracted from PKFIXED.ZIP.
