You will need 7zip to extract it (or something compatible).

Such as the cygwin p7zip program, or the native programs distributed by the upstream 7zip project (google...)

However, be warning: 7zip -- and the 7zip format -- contain NO provisions for storing unix style permissions, unix style ACLs, nor Windows/NTFS style ACLs.

Therefore, if Corinna 'unpacks' you test file, she will NOT necessarily be testing your exact scenario. So, you need to use a tool that cares for such things (the exact tool will depend on the OS (and cygwin, if OS=win) for your server, and for your client.

As I've already written, I used 7zip to archive it and copy it to another machine and the name was intact - Cygwin programs on that another machine had the same problems accessing the file.
