   Then you must be the one with the bug.  I have dozens of zip files in the   
   5-20 meg size and have no problem with them.  My largest zip file is 228 MB   
   is size.  In all I have 107 zip file greater than 1 MB on my system.   
      
   On the otherhane I think I once heard there was a limit on the number of   
   attibutes BeOS's zip frmat can handle, but I know I have archived over 32K   
   files/messages without a problem.  Maybe there is a 64K limit?
