New submission from alonwas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: zipfile complains about "Bad magic number for central directory" when I give it files over 2GB. I believe the problem is that the offset for the central directory should be read as an unsigned long rather than as a signed long. Modifying structEndArchive from "<4s4H2lH" to "<4s4H2LH" (note the capital L) should probably fix it. When the offset is >2^31 you get a negative offset and the code fails to find the central directory. I'll appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable looks at the problem and the suggested fix, Thanks, Alon
