I created it in June 2000 using some command-line version of pkzip (I've
always been allergic to WinZip); almost certainly v. 2.50.
The error message zipfile.py gives is
'File name in directory "SendTo/3½ Floppy (A).lnk" and header "SendTo/3+
Floppy (A).lnk" differ.'
The former string is data.filename; the latter, fname -- and '+' is a
DOS high-bit character, hex BD (a single horizontal bottom rule abutting
a double vertical right rule).
Thanks!
