I would like to use ZIP (OS/2) to create a zip file that will be
unzipped either by UNZIP (OS/2) or PKUNZIP (DOS).  

I know that the -k option tells ZIP to create a PKZIP-compatible zip
file.  What exactly does this translate to in terms of file structure?

What about files with extended attributes?  Obviously, PKUNZIP would
ignore EA's, but will their presence confuse it?

I'd like to be able to create a very large zip file containing files
with and without EA's, and have anyone on the network be able to
extract files without EA's.  Do I need to use "-k"?

Thanks for any help.
- Keith
