II recently sent a file "zipped" by "Make Archive" in the Finder to a
Windows user. She could not open it. I zipped it again using
Stuffit v9 and she had no trouble.
Yesterday I downloaded two zipped files from Inkjetmall and neither
the Finder nor Stuffit could open them though I have had no trouble
with files from them in the past. They finally opened using "Panther
Unzip". What is the score here, all the files had similar icons and
visible attributes as far as I looked.
It rather defeats the purpose of a universal(?) format if it is
touchy. I never had any trouble with Stuffit files but then they are
Mac only and the Windows mob have not had a chance to screw it up.
Maybe I am being overly harsh?
