zipping across platforms

I didnt bump the post, I got an error on the original post didn't see it come through so I posted again. sorry 
A little background... these are audit reports that are supposed to be viewed by someone who has no access to the unix commands that could possibly alter them at the unix level. The reports take up a lot of disk space and we have to keep them for a year so as standard process, we compress stored reports and files. On the old server I accomplished the access requirement by having the reports viewed via our hummingbird desktop ftp software. the reports came up fine after going through the zip utility on the desktop.
Now they don't on the new platform. I get some little boxes and other strange characters (perhaps not true meta characters) imedded in the report and the whole report format is thrown off when they are zipped coming from the server. If they are in plain txt format they are fine.
Hummingbird has a lot of options and I tried a few, but haven't resolved this issue.

platform::shell(n) Tcl Bundled Packages platform::shell(n) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ NAME
platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities SYNOPSIS
package require platform::shell ?1.1.4? platform::shell::generic shell platform::shell::identify shell platform::shell::platform shell _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell. This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine. While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers. For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software. COMMANDS
platform::shell::identify shell This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::generic shell This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell. platform::shell::platform shell This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell. KEYWORDS
operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture platform::shell 1.1.4 platform::shell(n)
