Did you try to compress files in the Finder and decompress them with LiveCode? Did you get a result different from if you compress and decompress them with LiveCode only?
Kind regards,
Mark

Take the 7th and 8th byte of the zip file and look at the 11th bit of these bytes together (that's the 3rd bit of the 8th byte). If this bit is 0, the file names are probably Latin 1 encoded but may be MacRoman encoded. If the bit is 1, the file names are UTF8 encoded.
(If you look at the ZIP specs, you will probably read 6th and 7th byte, but that's because the specs start counting at 0 rather than 1. You can find the specs at http://qery.us/3dl and search for "UTF-8").
Kind regards,
Mark
