I still don't have internet at home, but the computer is working, so I could
check a couple things:
1/ the compression rate is slightly above median, but certainly not maximum. So
Andy's tip may not be relevant, unless it applies to a whole range of compression
rates.
2/ I just downloaded the 70.2c zip file on my ofice computer (WinXP Pro). I had
created it on my home machine, which is obviously different and doesn't have
WinZip.
When I open the file, I get a comment window, which I close, and then the
contents are properly displayed and extracted on request by WinZip v8.1 SR2
(5791f).
Could the auto comment mess anything up?
3/ I can remember the following. About 1 year ago, the first time I sent a
modified version of the lib to Judith for testing (it was called 0.60.C at the
time), she had a password issue, then emailed me that she could properly unzip,
and doesn't seem to have experienced the problem ever since. So you just may have
the key to this issue and forgotten about it...
4/ I have sent quite a few zip files to various people over the years, and,
apart from Judith in 3/ above, everyone could read and extract the files. /me
Scratch head.
