I have a zip archive that i am trying to open - I have tried stuffit and BOM archiver, both run through the files, and, after a minute, when they get to a certain file in the archive, either hang, or crash. I beleive that most of the archive is ok, with one or two corrupt files - how can I recover at least some of it? Thanks!

What's the archive got in it?

If it's non-copyrighted material, e-mail the zip to me, and I might be able to get some stuff out of it.

The first part of my e-mail address is 'support' and the last part of it is 'charlessoft dot com'.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Thank you for the offer - I got it working with Unarchiver - seems better than stuffit or BOM.
