Is there a problem with the way this script compresses files? I just used it on all of my old P4 libraries. The newly compressed files cannot be decompressed/unzipped with Aladdin Expander or WinZip. Compressed files saved normally out of P5 do not have this problem. Does anyone know of any kind of solution? Is there a replacement script anywhere which may not have this problem, or can anyone suggest how I might edit the Python script to fix it? I am completely ignorant of the methods and ideas used in the compression process, so I'm not even really sure what I'm asking.... But I'd be willing to try, with a few pointers..... The "bad" compressed files will open in WinZip and the contents could be viewed properly, but the file could not be unzipped. I am wondering whether there might be some king of file "header" or somthing that is not being written properly? I do not know such things....
