Keep in mind that the following three types may be contained in the .zip and pose the same problem. The Mac can open .zip files with the correct utility application however after that if the files are the above 3 file type not much happens. You can however pass on a .zip file to a PC user and wreak havoc on their system if they are not carefull about openning it.
