If you download this and want to unpack this bizarre archive format on OS X: port install p7zip and then 7za e [filename].zip

It only took a few minutes to figure this out but if you're as confused by this quirky archive format as I was, there you go :) Don't bother trying to unpack the ZIP file in the normal OS X way as it'll just keep unpacking over and over and not give you anything useful.



I just used EZ 7z (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19139) to do it for me. No need to tarnish my system with MacPorts.


Try the Unarchiver: http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html

It's one of the first things I install on any OS X system. Great unarchiver that takes care of most (all?) the common archive formats, although I run into the occasional password issue. It beats StuffIt without a doubt.
