There's absolutely no need to unpack a zip to list the contents, unzip -l will do this, which is how file managers also do it. If you want to access the contents of a single file, the file manager will extract only that file. Konqueror handles this totally transparently, allowing you to list the contents and copy or read individual files as if the zip (or tar) archive were a directory. -- Neil Bothwick NOTICE: -- THE ELEVATORS WILL BE OUT OF ORDER TODAY -- (The nearest working elevators are in the building across the street.)
