Famous last words... There is a bit more to it. See below.

My advice to keep the old mapping line as well does not make any sense
because the second mapping actually overrides the first, so you need
to decide whether you want to keep the DDC or the A91 mapping for .zip
files. In contrast to the MimeMap that allows you to map a single DOS
extension to several RISC OS types, LanMan98 has to have a unique type
mapping for each extension, otherwise it would not know as which RISC
OS type to present a .zip file found at the PC end. Unfortunately,
that means that it cannot support both (old) DDC and (new) A91 typed
Zip archives when copying from RISC OS to the PC. Files of one of the
two types always get ,xxx extensions, so which of the two mappings you
choose depends on which Zip file type you use more often.
