[MacTUG] .zipx

[Steve Hellyer]

Don't believe is going to change as this is a propriety format  
WINZIP.  http://www.winzip.com/index.htm
It not the default zip that ships with Windows you have to purchase  
WINZIP and tell in to use zipx format.
Hence even Windows user have to now download to open.

I guess in the future will have to hope that some third party company  
with licence the file format and offer a pay for utility to uncompress.
Well unless Winzip develops an unzip for Mac and other UNIX machines.
