It is the 'Version needed to extract' field of the Central Directory entry.
As with all the fields it is (or shortly will be) read-only.
10 = zip ver 1.0 compatible version (or above) required
20= 2.0 required
This value is set by the compression program to the lowest applicable value.
Rename may alter it if the new name does/does not have extended characters.
(among other things ver 1.0 does not support them).

The ZipDirEntry record field 'Version' (please note: this is not
MadeByVersion nor HostVersionNo) returns two different values (not
reproducible): 10 or 20.

What is the purpose of this record field? Can I write my own values to =
it or
is intended to only read from it?

Regards,
Peter
