Hello,
How do I open a *. cpgz file? Have downloaded a zip and unzip them with board funds and then get a *. zip.cpgz file. These can be opened with Stuffit Expander unpack problems / but I get back after extracting process, the *. zip file. There are many files which in this format, but I really do not know how to extract these files.

I hate open issues for this file, CPGZ files obtained eg if one ODF files (OpenOffice) rename zip in and wants to unpack it. The new archiving program "of Leopard can not handle it correctly. A Work around is simply another Packer to take. And I recommend "The Unarchiver" is what available and can replace the traditional "Stuffit Expander". If you need any more help regarding this topic and if you can share more info then please post back.

I get an archive of someone with a PC. It is a ZIP. "Docx". I clicked: I created a file that looks like an archive and also the extension becomes: ". Docx.cpgz". From this archive is no way to get the document that is in, whenever I click on it recreated me another 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. What is the solution? I have tried the above solution which is being mentioned. Any other alternate solution will be great.

In fact *. docx format is a word document (*. doc) saved in XML format.The xml is a file format uncompressed. The XML has the advantage of being
readable with any software, even a simple text editor like TextEdit.

The cpio archive is similar in functionality to a tarball, and was designed to store backup copies on a tape drive on an ongoing basis. As the Tar format, CPIO archives are often compressed using gzip and distributed as files. CPGZ. Applying GNU cpio is a popular utility that can be used to add information in a cpio or tar archive. The application cpio is free software. CPGZ files can be created and extracted using "ditto," a program in command-line BSD Unix and Mac OS X, for example, the command "ditto-cz" creates a compressed CPIO archive.
