Add support for mzp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've turned up two ".mzp" archives on the web this week -- first time I've come 
across that file type.

The NFO that came with one of the files says: "Notes: Extract or mount the mzp 
archive with WinArchiver."

Being 100% Mac-oriented, I can't use PC/Win to expand the file, so found you 
guys. Can you do it??

I will send you one of the files, to practice on, but only at your request. One 
is 65 MB and the other  is 214 MB.

Thanks a lot.

John

This appears to be some new and undocumented format. It's not supported by The 
Unarchiver.

It would perhaps be possible to add support for it, but it would be a lot of 
work since it is apparently not described anywhere. I might consider doing it 
if it turns out to be a format people actually use in the wild. For now, 
though, no luck.

If anyone else needs support, please post further comments here.

Research indicates this may be Autodesk 3ds max Maxscript format. If so, it's 
supposed to be a .zip file, just renamed.

Apparently there are several formats named this.

kages.htm

been looking on the net for this... just found some info. I also downed a filed 
and the info text just said use the "WinArchiver22.exe" to unzip the file. So 
apparently that program unzips the file. However, I'm a mac user as well, so I 
still don't know what to do yet.

Easiest way out would be to use a virtual machine and install Windows. That's 
how I did it. Installed Winarchiver and unpacked. Winarchiver is free for 30 
days. But it served me well. Was so happy to delete it, though :-)

Ineed support for this too. And yes, spending $100+ for a copy of windows is 
one  way, but it's not a way I will use...

I also need suport for this format. It claims to be a 'mountable archive' 
(http://social.wakoopa.com/software/winarchiver#more).

Finding some documentation or technical information about the format would go a 
long way towards getting support for it.

Would be fine to extract mzp on macs ...

Again, it is mostly pointless to keep asking. Ask the creator of the format to 
release some information about it, and there is much more of a chance of 
getting support for it.
