How To Split Zip Into Multiple Files

The -s parameter splits the archive into multiple zipped files fine, but how do I unzip them? Using unzip from the command only looks at the very last file in the archive, and when you specify the first file (.z01), it errors out with:
$ unzip bws.z01
Archive: bws.z01
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of bws.z01 or
bws.z01.zip, and cannot find bws.z01.ZIP, period.

The Unarchiver (free in MAS), unzips the split zip just fine, but hell if I can't find a way to get unzip at the command line to do the same thing.

How To Zip Multiple Files On Mac

Uh, what?
'It appears that OSX 10.8 removed the tar --tape-length flag'
Not really. Our fine friends at Apple have chosen to remind us there are other versions of software beside that provided by GNU. Mac OS X appears to have moved 'tar' to be 'bsdtar' and gnu tar is now 'gnutar'. Actually, it's a symlink. Do 'ls -l /usr/bin/tar' to see.
Try this:
gnutar --tape-length=102400 -cMv --file=tar_archive.{tar,tar-{2..100}} [files to tar]
Note, I would *NOT* change the link to gnutar. There be dragons.

That is very helpful! I was a little taken aback when I found that normal 'tar' didn't have the --tape-length flag, even for historical purposes. Knowing about gnutar is very helpful, thanks for pointing it out!
