swiest:

Most applications creating ZIP files just add a slash ("/") to a file path to
indicate that this path refers to a directory.

Some unzippers (like Window's built-in compressed folder feature) require in
addition, that a special directory bit is set for a ZIP file entry - otherwise
it's regarded as a file.
