With ZipIt it is vital that you make sure it doesn't include Macs
resources etc. when zipping. At the end of each line in a zip
archive you'll see two small symbols - a circle and a box. One tells
you whether Mac resources are included and the other whether text
file end-of-line chars are Mac or PC. BOTH symbols should be hollow,
if either are solid black, then that is your problem. Check the
ZipIt preferences and make sure they're set such that Mac-specific
info is not included.
If you make sure the above is OK, then ZipIT produces good zip
archives that can be opened by PC users.
