Hi everyone, another one of those Windows related inquiries
I'm on an AMD64 Ubuntu 10.10 PC.
I'm distributing some of my free vector and CNC designs here and I've been naively ZIPing the files thinking it will make them more compatible for Windows users. However, after a second person reported that they cannot unzip my files, I decided to look into it on my wife's barebones (meaning no WinZIP or 7Zip or any other third-party file compression tools) Win XP Home and lo and behold - I cannot unzip my files there. It says "The Compressed (Zipped) folder is invalid or corrupted".
I've tried zip's -l option (-l convert LF to CR LF (-ll CR LF to LF)) but that didn't change much.
Does anyone have any advice to offer about the best way to compress files (text and Jpeg) on a Ubuntu computer so that they are guaranteed to uncompress on a Windows machine, preferably one without third party tools ('cause I can never be sure they are installed)?
Thanks a bunch!
