| Each Zip File has also an End-of-Central-Directory Record at the very end of the Zip File, which has a pointer to the Start of the first Central Directory Record, which is also the Start of the Central Directory itself. This End-of-Central-Directory Record contains some additional information, like the number of (File) Entries and the Size of the Central Directory, an optional (Global) Zip File Comment and information that pertains to Zip Files that are "spanned" over multiple Disks (in individual Zip Files). This "Spanning" feature is not supported by the current XbZLib implementation, though. If the End-of-Central-Directory Record is missing, the Central Directory, and therefore the Local File Records and the Data cannot be found, and the Zip File is considered corrupted!
