In a program I'm developing, I would like to write files to a zip file,
read files from a zip file, and get file info from a zip file without 
resorting to a spawn.

Are support modules for pkzip and pkunzip available in library form?
In other words, is there a library which includes functions that can
be used on a zip file which are analogous to conventional file handling
functions such as

	fopen
	fclose
	fread
	fwrite

so that writing and reading would be relatively transparent to my program?

Thanks for any help.
