    I’ve never associated .zip files with mailing addresses, a lot of the time they have a zipper pull tab as if you’re zipping up tight clothing around them to make them smaller. Nothing to do with the Zone Improvement Plan.

    Amusing fact: There was a tool similar to winzip or winRAR for the classic mac called “Stuffit” which I think is the most superior name.

      I don’t think they are, it was just Microsoft screwing things up. I’ve never heard someone call them postcode archives.
