Is that similar to TZipFile [http://wiki.freepascal.org/ZipFile]. 
TZipFile is component that allows you to use a zip file like a 
filesystem. You have the usual commands like Create directory, create 
file, edit file, view file etc... All directly inside the zip archive, 
like you would do with normal files in a file system.

We haven't gotten the actual compression part working yet, but using a 
zip file with no compression works perfectly.

I simply thought I would mention this project, as it seems both are 
trying something similar. :)
