Some Aldus software distributions, particularly PageMaker, used an installer-archive format that might be known as Aldus PKZP, or Aldus Zip. It is similar to Aldus LZW.
An archive contains a single member file, or maybe a fragment of a file.
The compression scheme is based on PKWARE DCL Implode, though segmented.
