Problems with handling a specific ARJ file

Post by *gigaman »

Hello,

I came across an ARJ archive that Total Commander (6.03a) has problems to browse. ARJ itself (or WinRAR, for example) can see and unpack the whole content of the archive. Total Commander, however, sees only the first file and when it tries to unpack it, it gives "Error in packed file".
It seems like a problem in TC's ARJ support (I guess).

The mentioned file can be downloaded here:

Confirmed.

I can unpack this file with command line version of arj32 3.11.
TC shows only the first file but isn't even able to unpack it until the "Use internal un-ARJ if possible" option is unchecked. After that it's still displayed only one of 10 files but at least it's possible to unpack this file.
