Decompress .zip files on AIX system

namdn · 07-28-2004, 12:32 AM

Hi all members,

I have a problem with my AIX 5.1L server. My CD-ROM contains some files written in .zip file (I compressed them by winzip on windows system). Now, I want to decompress them on AIX system, but I have tried many times by using gunzip command, the results were failt.
I have enter some parameters like -f, -d, -S (suffix), but the results were the same.
Please help me to decompress .zip file on AIX system.

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you.

send me: namdn@fpt.com.vn

Best Regards,

hi there,

gunzip will not work... try to see if u have "unzip". u will find "unzip" on Solaris/Linux. i hope the same might be available in AIX.

unzip -l filename.zip

will list the contents of the zip file. and "unzip filename.zip" will extract the contents.

Please post your questions on the appropriate forum and there only. AIX stuff goes here:

Here's unzip for you:

Alternative place to get it (and other AIX software):

You'll find unzip and a lot of nice open source utilities in the IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications:

it is always possible to try to compile tools for AIX, in case you cannot find a suitable binary on www.bullfreeware.com. we have gunzip, for example.
