Hi I have a script that uses the ZIP command in linux (ubuntu), and changes the name to make it executable for a certain program.

Now i realized the reason this program was not unzipping and installing it correctly was because it seems to depend on winzip legacy compression Zip 2.0 compatibility. Is there anything I can do to ensure compatibility when using the zip command via linux command line?

Thanks!!

According to the manual, Info-ZIP zip archives are incompatible with (older?) PK-ZIP when data is streamed from standard input and/or when the archive > 2 GiB.

The option "-Z deflate" might be useful too (that's the most-supported zip compression method).
