My guess is the file you're attempting to unzip is corrupt somehow, or simply not a ZIP file at all. Try running the `file' command on it, eg. $file /usr/ports/distfiles/ue400dev.zip /usr/ports/distfiles/ue400dev.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract > End-of-central-directory signature not found.

I suppose it's possible that more recent versions of WinZip generate ZIP files that can't be decompressed (or decrypted) by InfoZip's Unzip, but I'm fairly certain that Unzip wouldn't return this error message as a result. The "central directory" should still exist in the ZIP file. Regards Andrew
