RE: Compatible exports

It appears the 4GB limitation is lifted in the latest WinZip 9.0: http://www.winzip.com/wzdic.htm

And, good point from Mark - gzip is faster and more compressed, while also compatible with WinZip: http://www.winzip.com/wzdifs.htm

You may also need a patch for gzip to handle files > 4GB: http://www.gzip.org/#faq10

There are also some other alternatives to WinZip if you like: http://www.gzip.org/#faq4

Winzip had a limitation handling files below 4 GB. Had to use WinRAR instead which is equally good. Don't know whether this limitation is still there.
