Where i can found a zip tool which creates the same file/size/crc in other OS?

Hi!
I remember a zip program wich can create a zip file with the same CRC/size no matter where you using that tool, actually i tried to compress a buch of files with 7zip 16.04 (64 bits) and zip 3.00 in Linux and in Windows but the final files don't have the same size, even i tried to stored the files but i get different results

Example:
wine zip.exe -rq -D -X -0 -A testwindows.zip *.txt
zip -rq -D -X -0 -A testlinux.zip *.txt

md5sum *.zip

725d46abb1b87e574a439db15b1ba506 testlinux.zip
70df8fe8d0371bf26a263593351dd112 testwindows.zip

As i said i remember a zip program (i don't know the name) who the author said that the result was always the same regardless of the platform (win, linux...)

1) try to compess non-textual files and check results
2) try to compress your text files with -ll or -l option and check results

Windows and linux actually have different file attributes, so you'd need a hacked zip which doesn't store attributes, otherwise normally it won't happen.
You can try using a zip built under cygwin/msys2 on windows side, but even these would have different default unix attributes (eg. cygwin shows 0770 for windows files),
and possibly also custom defines for cygwin which would make them use winapi.

file timestamps are stored also, and iirc they differ in NTFS and other filesystems
