Extract an .mzp on Ubuntu

As above, is there any way to perform an extraction of a .mzp file on Ubuntu?

The interwebs have nothing for me :p.

MZP is a "mountable zip file" and it's proprietary to WinArchiver. That doesn't help you because WinArchiver is, as the name suggests, built for Windows. That also means that other archiving tools don't know the format so won't be of any use.

Your immediate options:

  • Download WinArchiver and run it in Wine. This may not work.
  • Create a Virtual Machine for a Windows installation, install WinArchiver and unWinArchive the file.
  • Slap the person who sent you it and tell them to use a standard archiving format.

There are other options, including breaking into national embassies and holding diplomats hostage, but I really hope you're not that desperate to get into this file.

Short answer: use the tool it was created with.
