Actually maybe you can help me. Do you know a method of creating PKZIP-compatible (or Windows-compatible) ZIP files from Linux? Is GZIP completely compatible with Windows?

there is aprogram simply called "zip" which uses compression scheme which is fully compatible with both WinZip and PKZIP to my knowledge. Here is the URL to the Debian Package but if you note at the bototm of the page, there is a tarball with the original src files there as well. Hope this does the trick.
