[Zope] RE: Wampum Generator (tar in WinZip)

[Harris Peter]

Hi
	Just want to mention one pitfall in WinZip - by default it CR/LFs
all files
	extracted from a tar archive (unless you turn that option off).
Note that
	the option is NOT on the "extract files" dialog. 

	It hosed 150Mb of .deb files today - and I didn't realise until I
had
	burned them onto a CD.  I couldn't believe that was what it was
doing at
	first. "Nah", I thought, "how would it know which files were
binaries?"
	Turns out it doesn't know. It doesn't care either.

	In case you want to avoid this happening to you, note that
PowerArchiver
	is more or less like WinZip but it can handle bzip2 as well, and
it's FREE.

Peter
