>test.zip directs the output into the file test.zip. cat test.zip.* concatenates all the files called test.zip.* where the wildcard * stands for any sequence of characters the files are enumerated in lexicographic order, which is the same as numerical order thanks to the leadings zeroes. So you need to first concatenate the pieces, then repair the result. See the zip 3 manual page for more information.) Also, zip 3.0 and later can combine multi-part (split) archives into a combined single-file archive using zip -s- inarchive -O outarchive. (All parts must be concatenated together in order, and then zip -F (for zip 2.x) or zip -FF (for zip 3.x) must be performed on the concatenated archive in order to “fix” it. Multi-part archives are not yet supported, except in conjunction with zip. The Linux unzip utility doesn't really support multipart zips.
