 This comment ensures that if any change is made to the files within the zip this checksum will no longer match the byte data in the central directory, and in this way we can check the validity of a torrentzip file.
-===== File name Encoding =====
+===== Filename Encoding =====
-The filenames of the compressed files in a zip file are stored in the local header and the central directory as a byte arrays, zip was original build on early IBM PCs, and as such uses [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437|code page 437]] to convert a string to a byte array to store the filenames. With the arrival of unicode multiple different methods where added to the official zip format to permit unicode filenames to be stored in a zip file. So to store a filename in a trrntzip zip file you must first see if the filename can be stored using code page 437, if not then UTF8 encoding should be used in the byte arrays, this is then indicated by setting bit 11 of the General Purpose Bit Flags both in the local header and central directory.
