Support variable record length control fields properly #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As described in the "internal file attributes" section of the spec:
https://www.pkware.com/documents/APPNOTE/APPNOTE-6.3.2.TXT

These should be trivially supported, and take the form of 4-byte headers prior 
to each "logical record". It is not clear from first glance what constitutes a 
"logical record", but presumably each Part (e.g., DataDescriptor, 
LocalFileEntry, FileData, etc...) is a "logical record".

Support for "dark bits" should fix the immediate concern, which is in 
manipulating archives that have these fields (see issue 1).

This issue is no longer relevant. The new patch generation and application logic does not care about or parse this information.
