There is a bug introduced by BOMArchiveHelper that prevents proper decompression of Zip files. Many Zip files created by PHP scripts will fail to open when doubled clicked on a Mac. However, if the same file is opened directly from StuffIt, the contents will be extracted successfully.

I wanted to add this to the article about BOMArchiveHelper but it doesn't seem to be appropriate content for Wikipedia. Can this information be captured in some other way? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.154.93.1 (talk • contribs) 13:45, 2006 January 10.

[edit] File formats

I suspect this article is wrong about which file formats are supported. What is "cpgz"? I can't find that anywhere. "tbz" is a shorter name for .tar.bz (tar + old bzip, which is unlikely) and "tbz2" looks like .tar.bz2 (tar + new bzip2, which is likely but is usually .tb2). Also, if it supports tar and supports old Unix compress (.Z), does it also support .tar.Z (.tz)? --Closeapple 12:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
