> a bug in “Archive Utility” on macOS prevents it from decompressing the resulting file I looked into this in the past, it's because they check for a "PK" header at the start of the file - which is of course not actually required. I assumed it was deliberate because it does exclude most "weird" ZIPs. By the way, if you're interested in this sort of file format wrangling, check out Ange Albertini's talk tomorrow at 38c3: https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2024/fahrplan/talk/QS9AXX/ https://fahrplan.events.ccc.de/congress/2024/fahrplan/talk/Q...

  But EOCD is not required to be at the end of file either (well it is, but has stupid comment field).
