We are no longer using AccVerify to check for keywords such as "adobe" or "word". Instead, AccVerify will be used to locate all types of file extensions that require a program to view. Therefore, all linked files must be accompanied by a link to a program that will open that particular file type. That goes for any file type that can not be viewed in any standard browser.

So don't worry about linking to "winzip" for a .zip file. You can link to any standard program that will extract, or, unzip such a file.
