I have downloaded a group of exercise files from a training site. They are broken into three zip files with extensions .z01, .z02, and .z03. I have win rar and win zip but neither will open these files. I tried starting with the last one, that did not work. Any suggestions?
 
The only time that I have seen this I had a .zip file as well, opening the .zip file automatically opened all the .z01 .z02 etc as these were just extentions to the main .zip file. They were needed because the uncompressed file was so large it was split into parts by Winzip.

Yeah you need to find the master file, with the .zip extension and extract that, it will then unpack the slaves.

1. Click on the "Start" button, click on "All Programs" and then go into "Accessories."

2. Right-click on the "Command Prompt" program and select "Run as administrator."

3. Type "cd directory_path_to_zip" where "directory_path_to_zip" is the fully qualified path to the corrupted zip file, such as "C:\Windows\" if your ZIP file is located in the Windows directory on your computer.

4. Press the "Enter" key and then type "c:\windows\system32\wzzip -yf corrupt_zip.zip" where "corrupt_zip.zip" is the name of the ZIP file you want to try and recover.

5. Press the "Enter" key and Windows attempts to fix the corrupt ZIP file. If this process is successful, a new ZIP file is created in the directory alongside the corrupt zip file with the same name as the corrupt zip file, only with the suffix "FIXED" on the end

6. In case .zip archive cannot be restored by this tip and WinRAR too make use of http://www.zip.openfiletool.com/ ZIP Open File Tool
