How To Open Zipx?

How do you open a zipx file on a Mac/Linux?

  • I've got some files for a project that's due in a few weeks. The guy sent them in a zipx file. How would I extract the files from a zipx on OS X or Linux?

  • Answer:

    The Unarchiver v2.3 will do, except for compressed jpeg within the zipx archive.

http://www.zipxfile.com/ is an advanced Zip compression format http://www.winzip.com/ovwc17/prodpagewz.htm. It appears there's only a few commercial utilities that support it. OSX users can use http://my.smithmicro.com/win/stuffit/index.html ($50 USD) to decompress these files. (The http://www.zipxfile.com/ claims Stuffit Deluxe can do it, but I actually don't see that specified on the Stuffit site, so look carefully before buying.) Aside from that, I'd recommend requesting the files in a more standard archive format. Neither RAR nor 7zip archivers support ZipX yet.

The winzip evaluation version installed perfectly on wine, and was able to extract the archive for me. (I tried The Unarchiver, but as Kenny noted, it wouldn't extract JPEG files)
