I don't believe you understand my message correctly. The ZIP_EndOfCentralDirRecord is essentially at the end of the file. One would parse the file by fseek'ing to (EOF-sizeof(ZIP_EndOfCentralDirRecord)) and fread'ing in the struct. However, since the comment is of variable length, there is no way to correctly read in the ZIP_EndOfCentralDirRecord. Thus, there is no way to access commentLength.
