Windows XP (and later) and almost all Linux file managers support
viewing a compressed file (e.g. zip archive) as a normal folder. This
feature lives inside the file manager application and doesn't require
any server-side support.
For ntfs the compression is transparent. No specific
extension or change needed in applications or scripts.

I recently read somewhere about a user that was exporting via samba an
ntfs volume created under windows that had the "compress" option activated.
When writing to the share via samba he could create files but not
overwrite them. Reason is ntfs-3g driver doesn't support overwriting
transparently compressed files. He solved the issue by mounting the
volume under Windows and deselecting the "compress" option.
I'm sorry but I don't remember if that post was recent, and can't find
it againt right now.
Well, it was not supported.... until support was provided,
this is a very common situation.
