Info-ZIP are the authors of zip and unzip. Zip has support for fixing
zipfiles. To try to fix the zipfile run "zip -F <zipfile>" (you might
want to keep a backup copy of the zipfile in case of any problems as
this will overwrite your original file). You can test the contents of
the zipfile to see which files aren't damaged with "unzip -t <zipfile>".
