Yes. The appnote describes the format for the "extra field", which is
extensible so multiple records can be stored and applications can skip over any
they don't understand. 7-zip doesn't use it, but doesn't have a problem with
it. I'm not sure about WinRAR, but WinZip will use the header if it exists. I
didn't invent it for Abbrevia; it was originally designed by the Info-zip guys.
