    Great! It looks like you're getting the same results I did.

    See comments on the Info-ZIP forum where I offer some SWAG 
theorizing about how I must have broken the name display  --  and 
somebody (EG, I think) explains the use of the 3 name fields.

    See my other post from a few minutes ago.

    As well as I recall, I had that version building cleanly, and 
working with small files, but I hadn't the chance yet to try it with a 
large one.

    I've been really busy this week with that darn day job, and haven't 
had time to follow up on this since last weekend. (Can't really 
complain about that in today's economy, a week like that is a Good 
Thing!). 

    I have posted a few comments on the Info-ZIP forum, and read some 
comments from Lutz, EG, and sms, but that's about it. Maybe this 
weekend I can refresh my memory of what I did and send you a proper 
diff.


Cheers,
Bob
