Unzipping problems in Unix
Hi,

I have a zip file in a unix file system that contains approximately 1000000 files. I would like to unzip this file.

When I use unzip, the unzip command starts extracting the files , but after extracting 65535 files, I am getting the following error.


"note: didn't find end-of-central-dir signature at end of central dir.
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly) "

Does anybody know if there is a version of unzip that can help me overcome this problem ?
Can some kernel or other parameters be tweaked to overcome this problem ?

Please let me know.

Thanks
