What is a .zipp file?

[burrelly]

I have recieved an email from a client that is .zipp - yes double P - I have tried opening it with Winrar and winzip with no luck.

Any ideas what to open it with?

I would guess that it is a .zip file but renamed so it would go through an e-mails filtering system. I usually use the reverse, .piz, or my initials, .dk, to get databases through firewalls in a .zip file.

Try changing the extension to .zip and see if that changes anything.

Nope made no difference. I am waiting on my client getting back to me once they have spoken to the sender.

So it's from a legit source right ? (if not I'd be suspicious) If so can they send it in it's native format as .zipp is not a traditional recognised file type.

You might be able to see the file type by opening it with notepad but that is a long shot (it works with Windows native i.e. non zipped - that's what it is - files)
