I decided to try the option where the data is stored in the zip file uncompressed. Since the folder is just over 2GB, I ran into the stdio File problems with being unable to properly return the size of the file.
I see bugs on this posted that go back a few years. Kind of basic problems.
The work-around was to convert all the file operations to use std.stream equivalents, and that worked well, but I see i the bug reports that even that was only working correctly on windows. So I'm on windows, and ok for me, but it would be too bad to limit use to Windows.
Seems like stdio runtime support for File operations above 2GB would be a basic expectation for a "system" language these days.
