This weekend I will rezip all our zip files in sf.net, which zip manager should 
I use to ensure compatability in both win and Linux?

Cheers John

Ken was the MonoRail zip file created with 7-Zip?

I know in the past some people (usually those using the WinXP compressed folder 
feature) have had issues unzipping the zip files created by NAnt's zip task 
(which uses SharpZipLib).

I haven't seen winzip in ages. If anything, winRar appear to be way more 
widespread.

anyway, I did test the downloads with a fresh install of the latest 
downloadable winzip back when I uploaded the files, since I'm not that big a 
prick, and it worked just ok.

um.. because we shouldn't be telling our users what tool they need to
use to open a supposed standard file format.

WinZip is (de facto, barring new work from PKWare) the cannonical
reader of Zip file.  If it cannot read a ZIP file, it should be
assumed that the problem is with the file, not with WinZip.

This is essentially the argument between SEA & PKWare over ARC files
that led to the creation of ZIPs in the first place.

Truth,
