I admit I'm not a 7-zip user - but had it been able to extract the files, I might have become one (for awhile at least - who knows the rest).
I don't have the ability to contact the person who zipped it and have the re-zip it in standard format and don't use WinZIP, so my only choice was to figure out an alternative.Īfter researching and figuring out what was going on, I ended up here trying to figure out if anything besides WinZip could extract it. However, someone at Avaya decided to zip up and post some technical information that I needed to access in that format. Considering the first post in this thread was in 2009, I think it's safe to say that it is seldom used. I ran into zipx for the first time today. this turns any (JPEG) compression into absurdity anyway :-D
What does the "view archive with technical details" say about those zipx's ?Īlternatively, ask that guy to send standard ZIP's or 7-ZIP's -)ĭoes the world really need 1'000'000'000'000 incompatible archive formats, every of them with 1'000'000'000'000 flavours? WinZIP 17 is 100 MiB download size. zipīecause you can't reliably distinguish them from each other -) We have a guy who likes Total Commander ?Īnd he always sends me. StiffIT was never open source or publicly documented, IIRC. I heard rumors that they use StaffIT algorithm (Sorry, I can Please upload some examples and test some JPG > If zipx becomes popular, providing support for it In Win98 could be of value to millions of users.

The ME-line should never have been invented. For JPEG, I don't know.įor anything else, use 7-ZIP format and ignore WinZIP "technology" -) There is already partial "ZIPX" support in 7-ZIP (no WAVPACK and no JPEGCRAZY).įor audio, just use genuine WAVPACK. Zpx Is it possible that the filename extension is misspelled? zipx file extension is often given incorrectly!Īccording to the searches on our site, these misspellings were the most common in the past year:
When you double-click a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. zipx files coming from an unknown source! Naturally, other applications may also use the.
