    Using pkzipc.exe ver6.0, i compressed a dir with 2.33gb and 76000+ files.

    7-zip cannot read the file. There are no error message.

      can pkzip ver 6.0 open the zip?
      also try with 2 mb instead.

      pkzip6 can open the zipped file
      7-zip cannot

      So far it seems that 7z does not fail because a certain dictionary size!?

      If the archive contains more than 64K files it is a zip64 archive, and this is not supported by 7z.

      yes. its >2gb and >65k files.
      Is there going to be support for this later?

      7-zip supports >2gb and >65k files in zip, just not the new pkzip6 zip

        7-zip supports more that 65K files, but still has 4 GB limitation for file/archive size.

      A detailed description of the problem. I'm not a programmer and I hope this helps.

      Uncompresses size = 2.10gb
      Number of files = 76771
      Compressed size = 1.4gb
      Compression Program = pkzipc.exe (ver6)
      Filename = test.zip

      pkzipc reads the zip file with no problems
      pkzip6 GUI reads zip without problems

      when i ran "7za l test.zip"
      response is error

      GUI 7-zip doesn't tell me any error
      it shows me the directory where task.zip resides but NOT the dir in test.zip

      I tried winzip9 (6028). my test.zip file works perfectly.

      That's why i think there is something wrong with 7zip.
