I have seen strange things with the built in archiving for OS X. Decompressing on a classic os machine leaves three folders:

An enclosing folder
OSX folder
Another folder

and two files one in the OSX folder and one in the other folder.

I have not explored it so I do not know if it is just something local to this particular machine OSX 10.3.4 then OS X .3.8

Decompressing on windows does not appear to be a problem from what I can see.

Not for me. Routinely zip up multi megabyte files.

 Take care with OSX archiving as it is a proprietary format which I do
 not think works when you try to decompress under another OS !

Works for me daily between OS X (10.3.8) and Windows XP Pro.
