      I created the download zip files for JavaMail 1.1.3EA using the
      JDK 1.1.6 jar command. The zip command was removed from /usr/dist
      and I figured jar files are really just zip files so why not.

      Three customers have complained that they can't extract the jar
      files. They get zero length files and similar problems. Two of
      the customers claim to be using WinZip 7.0. I have been unable
      to reproduce the problem myself using WinZip 7.0 on Win98SE. I
      can't determine whether this is user error, or a problem with the
      way the jar command creates the zip file. Still, with three
      customer reports, I believe this is a problem that needs more
      investigation.
