In UNIX-land, extension seemed to always include the dot.
In DOS-land, it's without (inherited from VMS too, perhaps?)
As such, either way to write it is acceptable.

(There seems to be no way to send corrections. Sucks not
to be a wiki.) Ah well that explains their cluelessness:

 nach englisch zip file, zu: to zip = (mit dem Reißverschluss) schließen und
 file = Datei 

"ZIP-Datei" kommt daher, weil die Erweiterung ZIP/.zip ist, nicht
weil da ein symbolischer Reißverschluss zugezogen wird oder ein
Programmicon selbiges suggerieren will.

Wir haben ja schließlich auch RAR-Dateien, die deswegen so heißen,
weil sie eben .rar als Endung tragen und nicht, weil sie
wertvolle Mangelware sind. ;-)

Konjugation wie merken, nur Aussprache mit [dʒ] statt [k]-Laut.
merge/mergst/mergt/mergen/mergt/mergen/mergte/(habe,hatte) (ge)mergt.
Ich sehe da keine Komplikationen.
