This is excellent. You're one step ahead of me. I was looking at the
AmigaZIP source code, pondering what parts of it were buggy with respect
to the specification and how I was supposed to figure out what parts were
and weren't. I thought about taking a look at everybody else's source
code, diff-ing away -- except I can't dehqx on my Amiga, so there goes Mac.

When I logged on today, I planned to post, "hey, to all the Zip
maintainers reading this, let's combine our source trees".

Excellent idea.
