Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Hi, as dev working with app designed for both Windows, Mac and Linux systems, I had recently automating with ZipFile task of repacking some internal ZIP archives. To automate the task even more, I created formulas for each of systems to be available on single script, on single call (and so on one machine) to create packages easier.

Unfortunately generated tasks were faulty,
I noticed, that same script performed on Linux or Windows created archives of different types - FAT or UNX, therefore output files were seen as invalid on opposite system.

To make the picture, my flow was:
start on particular OS (either Windows or Linux) ==> download archive from web (fixed format, UNX or FAT) ==> unpacking archive ==> creating new archive from files from previous ==> resulting archive has format from OS, overriding input archive (while I need the exact opposite)

Could I ask You to add possibility from code toenforce archiving files by chosen system , for instance like a compression method (like I chose LZMA), like I suggest below ? Or maybe if it is dependent on the format of the not yet archived input , could a similar flag enforce unpacking file in chosen filesystem , not being dependent on the used machine and OS?
I also provide some output fromzipinfo console utility.

I attach some links that hopefully might present the issue,
