But (1) we are not there, yet (ZipArchiveInpuStream can read ZIP64 - did I say that? - but we have no way to write them, yet) and (2) it will not be sufficient. Compress really is a jungle of dialects for almost all supported formats and we need to do interop tests. An archive created by InfoZIP is different from one created by PKZIP which is different from Windows Compressed folders ... you get the idea. If Compress' output matched that of InfoZIP it still wouldn't show that we are able to read PKZIP created archives. In the end I expect our corpus of test archives to grow as interop problems are discovered.
