Dear Gil,

This was a bit trickier than I expected, it seems the default zip on Apple 
macOS (zip version 3.0) does not produce Windows conform zip files. I tried 
several settings but nothing seems to work. I have also tried a number of other 
zippers without luck until I found that 7zip seems to work. Can you have a look 
in the Sourceforge upload dir and see if you can also extract the zip files.

This introduces an additional dependency on macOS (install of 7zip from 
Homebrew) that I need to document before I am done.

Question: Is it enough to document such changes (replacing zip with 7zip) in 
the HowTo for the DocBuild or should such changes be added to the 
release-steps.txt? They are not per see related to the new release.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
ooRexx
