Lines: 17 Hi, I receive .ZIP files which have an authentication scheme, and when they are unzipped, the give a verification number and usually a company or individual name. My question is how is this done? Is the name associated with the number stored in the ZIP file? I would appreciate any insights and/or comments. Steven -- Steven V. Christensen U.C.
