problem with zipping and unzipping


I used the zip program that comes with FreeBSD 5.4 release 2 to compress some directories and files.
Now,when I try to unzip the files in debian,I get the following error.

Code:
tinku@localhost~$ unzip work.zip 
Archive:  work.zip
warning [work.zip]:  137133 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)
error [work.zip]:  start of central directory not found;
  zipfile corrupt.
  (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
  appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
I have some really important data over there.Moreover,I dont have any freebsd runnnig oses within reach.So,I cant try on freebsd.
Any help?

Things are not looking good for your work.zip . Maybe you will have some luck with a bsd livecd. http://www.freesbie.org/

Well,had this been the problem with only one zip file,I would have assumed that something is wrong with the file.But this is happening for almost all the zip files that i did in this procedure~12 zip files.

Ok,i will try freebsie when I get back home.I have freesbie cd with me.
