BeLife Zipped file doesn't decompress under Haiku (UnZip by Info-Zip)

[kvdman]

This file was straight from BeBits, and although I'm unsure how the original author compressed it, Haiku's built-in decompressor, can't extract the contents.

I've tested the Zip under both OSX and Windows with their default extractors, and they both have no problem...

Haiku complains 'End of central-directory structure not found'. Either it's not a zip file, or it's part of a multi-volume archive'.

Is it possible to compile Info-Zip to be more flexible with zips that have errors? The end effect is, with Windows and OSX I ended up with a perfectly extracted binary, in Haiku I didn't.

Fwiw, I get the same error on Ubuntu 9.10, unzip version 6.0.

Can't open on ubuntu 12.04 either.

unzip isn't very helpful with corrupted archives. One can eventually use other already ported zip extractors (ie fastjar). Closing as it isn't an Haiku specific problem.
