Maybe the combination of non-FAT and FAT partitions triggers it, I don't know.

Another bad thing with ST-Zip is that it sometimes creates archives which cannot be extracted using other ZIP-archivers.

Also, again, it's worth that ZIP doesn't preserver executable bits etc. in files, which means it's not suitable for unix systems.. On the other hand I don't think we have an up-to-date ZIP/GZ/LZH-shell, and the alternative (command line stuff) is tricky for newbies.

Too bad so many users are under the misconception that command line stuff is bad. IMO this is Microsofts fault; the CLI in DOS/Windows sucks *donkeyballs*, while the Bash etc. under unix rocks your socks off. Extremely powerful, and once you get the hang of it I'd say it's often the preferred way of doing things.
