Thanks for the info. Of course I have noticed the first two characters
of ZIP-files but I can't recall having seen PK up there in the top left
corner. "MZ" plus an additional character seem to be common in both
normal and PKLited files.

Since my use of Windows is very limited I haven't looked into a 7Z file
even though I do have 7Zip installed in a Lenovo laptop.


Have a nice day,

Holger
