A zip file seems to be a rather complicated solution ;)
~sorry, couldn't resist.
By the way, insead of a text file, you might consider an XML file as it allows for other possibilities like posting player results to the web and stuff like that. I don't know if your game is meant to do stuff like that, but it might make for a fun alternative to explore.

Your not suggesting that people would cheat!? Your point is well taken.
