   Anyone know how to detect what file maybe hidden within an archive like a .bz2 file or .cpgz file. I have used The Unarchiver to extract but its going around in circles as the resulting file does not have an extension.

   Try changing the extension of the original ZIP file to something like RAR or SIT so that the file will read "untitled.sit" or "untitled.rar".
   
   To open SIT Files:

   To open RAR Files:
