I have a zip file. It is over 2Gb in size:

The standard "unzip" program barfs: % unzip -l test.zip Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period.
This is because the info-zip utilities can't handle ZIP files over 2Gb in size.
Windows can access it just fine.
Anyone have any recommendations on a unix tool that'll let me access these large files?
Random thought (total guess): What happens if you use split on the zip file and try to get info zip to think it is a multi-part archive?
