I've read everything I can find in the archives and I'm wondering if anyone has solved the cross-platform compress & decompress problems. I would like to create a compressed text file on Mac X and open & decompress it on Windows, the same goes for make on Windows & open on Mac. I'm not sure but it looks like the different charSets for each OS seems to be the problem. Anyway when I try to open made on Mac in Windows the file is not recognized as being compressed. I've tried stripping the header before decompressing with no luck. Perhaps a cross-platform compress/decompress is in the works soon? I solved these charSet OS issues in cross-platform encryption by converting to numbers within the entire encryption/decryption process. This took the relative positions of the different chars in charSets out of picture until the final rendering takes place.
Would base64 encoding the content before compressing it be a suitable workaround for the char set issues?
Is there a bugzilla # I can read to get up to speed on this bug?
