Some Aldus software distributions, particularlly PageMaker, used an installer-archive format that might be known as Aldus PKZP, or Aldus Zip.
An archive contains a single member file, or a fragment of a file.
The compression scheme is based on PKWARE DCL Implode, though segmented in some way.
Identification
The first 16 bytes of a file are ASCII "ALDUS PKZP 2.00".
Sample files
- Pegasus 5.0 → CD1 → PEGASUS/W_DEMOS/PM5DEMO*.ZIP
