   They may have, if created by Info-ZIP Zip, on a VMS
system.  UnZip tolerates Stream_LF, too, which might be put
out by a web browser (or Java?), for example.

   The real mystery here is why any VMS-related site would
bother with using both Zip and BACKUP, and then omit the
critical Zip option.  "Date: 30-JUN-2002" might have
something to do with it.  "zip -V" had more bugs before Zip
2.31 (2005).  But I can see no excuse for posting lame Zip
archives now, especially if they contain BACKUP save sets.
