Hi friends,

I received several archives with file property:
Zip multi-volume archive data, at least PKZIP v2.50 to extract

Code:

R8625QSOSKQLYA3070.z01: Zip multi-volume archive data, at least PKZIP v2.50 to extract
R8625QSOSKQLYA3070.z02: data
R8625QSOSKQLYA3070.z03: data
R8625QSOSKQLYA3070.z04: data
R8625QSOSKQLYA3070.zip: data

How to extract them under Ubuntu 12?

and I want to delete first two level directories when extracting them, how to that?

Good luck.

Gosh, I didn't even know that PKZIP was still around.

It started as a DOS program and is now a Windows program; it will not run on Linux.

You might try 7zip with Wine. The Wine applications database reports that it works very nicely with Wine. Wine should be in the Ubuntu repos.

You'll need to read up a bit on how to use Wine to do so, but it's not that difficult assuming the Windows application works with it.

Googling for "multipart zips linux" did not turn up a quick solution. Linux's native zip program doesn't seem to be friendly to multipart zips.

PKZIP is still around and runs native on Linux (RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, etc...). It will handle multi-part ZIP files (commonly called "split" archives). V2.50 is a pretty old version. Given the prevalence today of "eavesdropping", SecureZIP may be a good choice to encrypt ZIP files and prevent snooping.

Try

Code:

zip -FF archive.zip --out fixed-archive.zip

It will find all the volumes, and makes a fixed-archive.zip
Then you can extract it.
