Requesting updated unzip for Zip64 Support

[OwN-3m-All]

Any chance unzip can be updated to support Zip64?

Current zip has supported Zip64 since 2008 and unzip since 2009.
$ zip -v; unzip -v
should both show ZIP64_SUPPORT.

Strange, for some reason the current version would fail on some very
large archives (8GB+), but the version I linked worked fine in these
cases too.

That's Large File Support for 4GB+ files and archives, which is also in current
versions. There could be bugs. Could you test on different systems to check?

Above GB sizes I prefer RAR, although zpaq and p7zip can be better, and p...z
utilities that parallel compress using all cores, to get close to 10% of the
original size, with better alternatives getting more than .1GB smaller than RAR.
Most orgs that deal with large archives over the net accept and produce RAR and
some can also accept and produce high compression alternatives.
