It's been many years since I messed with this stuff, but I vaguely recall wanting the capability to eliminate all extended attributes *except* the UTC timestamps. Have you tried -XX? I don't know if Zip ever used that technique for anything other than verbosity, but UnZip did in a couple of places. Anyway, the upshot is that there definitely should be a way to suppress all EAs in an archive, but I have no idea what the actual status is. That's Onno's department to explain, debug, and/or fix. -- Greg Roelofs newt@pobox.com http://pobox.com/~newt/ Newtware, PNG Group, Info-ZIP, Philips Research, ...   Changed Bug title.
