Hi,

I have come across a file which appears to contain data compressed by
some PKWARE software. I doesn't seem to match any ZIP header that I've
seen. I thought it might just be a compressed binary blob from
PKWARE's implode library but that doesn't seem to match either. Does
anyone recognize it or have any ideas what it might be?


Thanks in advance,

Luke Q

42 bytes in is the start of "PKWare Compression Library" compressed
data. You can find a decompressor for that data in the zlib
distribution in the contrib/blast directory.
