Thanks. Would you mind spending a few minutes more on this so that we
can see if it's a problem that can be fixed easily, like the one that
Chris Mellon reported?
The above output says that there are 43868 (43846 + 22) bytes of
useable data. That leaves 69888 - 43868 = 26020 bytes of "comment" ...
rather large for a comment. Have you run a virus scanner over this
file?
At the end is an updated version of the diagnostic gadget. It explores
the "EndArchive" structure and the comment at the end, with a special
check for all '\0' (as per Chris's bug report) and another for all
blank. Please run it over your file and show us the results. Note: you
may want to suppress the display of the first 100 bytes of comment if
it turns out to be private data.
Cheers,
John
