Yea, thats the one.

I still want to find an easy way to be able to integrate unzip with
other programs to tie in with ar and tar.

it would be good if i could setup an interface like unzipFilter(srcFd,
newSrcFd), where the srcFd is the the compressed file and newSrcFd would
provide access to normal uncompressed files.
