Hi,
	I receive .ZIP files which have an authentication scheme, and
when they are unzipped, the give a verification number and usually a
company or individual name.

	My question is how is this done? Is the name associated with
the number stored in the ZIP file?

	I would appreciate any insights and/or comments.

		Steven
