Cobian backup .Z01 archive

Hi everyone, I use Cobian Backup 9 on my Windows XP Home laptop to do daily backups to my Zip-100 drive (as well as a full backup to an external hard drive once a week).
Until today, I've been using the Split option set to a Zip-100 disk, and it's been creating .Z01 files on a single disk. I need to get into one of my archives to recover a file, but I'm having problems accessing the .Z01 file.
I've tried the Cobian Decompressor and Winzip, but I'm not having much luck using them, so any advice on what to do or a good tool to open the file would be appreciated.
ETA: I've found the answer to my own question
- I can use the latest version of WinRAR to access the file, all I have to do is to close the "unexpected end of archive" message.
