Repair corrupt or damaged Zip files

The zip file format is highly sensitive to corruptions.In case of even a minor corruption of the file structure standard zip tools will no be able to extract its content. This is because all zip tools check archives for integrity(ie presence of all the files in the proper order). If CRC values of the original files of an archive don't match the extracted ones, the standard tools like WinZip or WinRar won't extract them.
A solution to this problem is a handy freeware tool"DiskInternals ZIP Repair".
