if unix was any more fun they would make it a game pack for playstation. Go ahead open your terminal and try man moreMore is less, or is that less the opposite of more I don't know. You can find man pages for all of these and more. I know of a hand full tar, gzip, gunzip, zip, unzip, bzip2, bunzip2, bzip2recover, compress, uncopress, pax, cpio. But I do know there are many unix archiving unarchiving tools some are named for what they do and what type files they work on.

unzip filename.zipGuess what! Archive: csr005.zip creating: csr005/ extracting: csr005/csr005-03-the-apartment-the-moon-is-full.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-01-the-apartment-alone-now.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-02-the-apartment-dig-a-hole.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-05-the-apartment-ooh-what-fun.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005-04-the-apartment-flowing.mp3 extracting: csr005/csr005.jpg extracting: csr005/threeforks-slimart.jpg New Music, iTunes here we come.So what was the deal? I don't have a clue as to why double clicking did not work. Command () + N is used in order to open a new tab in the terminal. Command () + T is used in order to open a new terminal window. Once you have typed you will see the application you need, all you need is just click it. I may have to give up and down load again. In the pop-up window, enter the word 'Terminal'. gunzip filename.zipunknown suffix - ignoredMaybe This is a lost cause. If you want to test the result, unzipping split archives, takes a little more effort, as 2 commands are needed one to unsplit and one to unzip: e.g. Bash (terminal) called me a dummy and said the file had bad obsolescent base-64 headers. tar -xvf filename.zip Works for almost anything on a redhat linux box, but no joy this time. Rather than burn more bandwidth, I open terminal and try my favorite can opener. I get tried of waiting and cancel the job. When I tried the double clicking a unarchiving window opens and I can tell my machine is chewing on what should be in a blink, a done deal (I mean go get a drink, come back and every thing has slowed because of this effort kind of job).
#UNZIP MAC COMMAND LINE ARCHIVE#
And reasons to use different tools, example: I just down loaded a new free album from and some thing was funky about the zip archive I got. There definitely is more than one way to skin this cat.
