I've recently made a discovery that may be of interest ...

If you need to extract files from a Windoze 32 self-extracting
(executable) archive that uses ZIP compression, forget about
PKZIP, it just gets confused! However, InfoZip's Unzip program
can do it without any problem (it generates a minor warning
about surplus bytes, that's all:-)!

In case you need to find the InfoZip stuff, check out :
