The Archive Browser does not handle a filetime (mtime) of 0 correctly in a GZIP
archive.
In the attached, the archive has a filetime of 0. The Archive Browser displays
it as Wednesday, December 31, 1969 7:00 PM (that's January 1, 1970 adjusted
with -5:00 for my timezone (EST or Eastern Standard US)).
According to RFC 1952 (https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt):
MTIME (Modification TIME)
This gives the most recent modification time of the original
file being compressed. The time is in Unix format, i.e.,
seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970. (Note that this
may cause problems for MS-DOS and other systems that use
local rather than Universal time.) If the compressed data
did not come from a file, MTIME is set to the time at which
compression started. MTIME = 0 means no time stamp is
available.
Expected results:
I expect The Archive Browser to display the filetime as "No time information
available" or similar since the filetime (mtime) is 0.

I'm working on OX S 10.8.5 x64 (fully patched) with The Archive Browser 1.9.1
(fully patched).

My apologies if this is the wrong forum for The Archive Browser issues. Archive
