According to the man page for zip, -A is for adjusting the internal
offset records within a pre-existing self extracting archive, created by
prepending the 'SFX' stub to the front of the zip archive. However, as
documented by the man page, -A only works on the Amiga port of zip.
The SFX stub is not distributed with GNU zip -- it's actally part of the
PKzip distribution I think. (It wouldn't make sense to have a GNU
version of the SFX stub -- think about the sourcecode redistribution
requirements...)
