Thanks, Peter, I apologize for my shorthand.
I suspect, though, that Apple is using some shorthand of its own. First
of all, the "archives" it creates carry the .zip extension, and purport
to use the gzip standard. But I though gzip could only compress, and not
archive, so is there a hidden .tar (or other) layer to archive the files
compressed by gzip?
I haven't explored this very much but am curious.
