+On Windows open this file in WordPad.

+Contents of the "windll/vbz64" sub-archive
+
+This directory contains a Visual Basic project example for using the
+zip32z64.dll library (Zip 3.0 with Zip64 enabled). See the comments in
+the form and project files for details.
+
+This new project and the new zip32z64.dll library are not compatible
+with previous VB examples using the zip32.dll interface as this new
+interface supports more files and handles file sizes larger than 2 GB.
+It should be simple to convert a VB program using zip32.dll to
+zip32z64.dll but the program may need some changes. For a compatible
+replacement use the dll compiled from Zip 2.32 (released separately)
+and see the zip32.dll example in the VB directory of this source tree.
+
+Note that the files may be saved in unix format with carriage returns
+stripped. These must be restored before the project can be successfully
+used. This can be done by using the -a option to unzip. Another way to
+do this is to open each file in WordPad, select and cut a line, paste
+the line back, and save the file. This will force WordPad to change the
+line ends in the entire file. Newer versions of WordPad may not do this.
