Extracting .z02 Files in OS X

Does anyone know of a program for Mac OS X that will extract files from this type of zip archive (filename.z02)? I've looked around but haven't been able to find anything. I think WinZip handles them in Windows, but have tried Unarchiver, Zipeg, and of course the standard StuffIt Expander for Mac, all with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

17" iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Is the suffix on all .z02 or is it a consecutive number .z01, .z02, .z03...? If it were the second case, then it corresponds to a segmented zipped file and you need to have all the segments. In that case, you can concatenate all into one on Terminal and then unzip:

+cat somefile.z* > somefile.zip+
+unzip somefile.zip+

i just have the one file, but now that I'm thinking about it there may have been one or two more in the bundle that I didn't download. Let me go back and download those, then could you go into a little more detail on what I need to do in Terminal to get those into a standard zip file?? Thanks.

As mentioned above, tried that one, and it didn't do the trick. Thanks, though.
