Hi, thanks for replying here. So .zip files store file attributes as ints? Then they must also have a data member that denotes the originating operating system, right? Otherwise it would be impossible to correctly restore a .zip file from one system on another. (Given relative path names and compatible file name character sets.) And the file attributes need to be converted between systems as well. Otherwise it would create *very* bizarre effects when applying POSIX chmod attributes on a Windows machine. -- Marco
