    I know that the file ' date.dat' can be decompressed with winrar or 7zip, but as I do to create my own file dat.dat? which the type of used compression and which compression factor?

    Mac, Linux, or Unix.

    zip command line utility.

    Zero compression. Or maybe compression works now. I forget.

    There is no tool for Windows that I can make to work to date.

    I haven't tried it, but I think WinRAR can compress into zip with 0 compression. Though it might make an overly complicated archive.

    The bungle system coded by Chris is very very specific. It can't read anything with an oversized header.

    Also, the newer version might support .rar. If they do, they also support compression.

    Worth a shot. Give it a go.

    Maybe one dating 1999 or something works. I haven't been able to make it work, but I haven't been able to find an old version either.
