Technical Notes
When specifying file names or specifications to include or exclude, the forward slash (/) must always be used when specifying a path. For example, x_lansa/x_ppp/mytable.dll
This BIF can be used to test (zip -t) the validity of a .zip file, without returning any information, if only the first return value is specified.
