In that case, you'll have to be very careful in order to handled file names
that contain IFS characters or newlines:
find "$MAGDIR" -name "*.[zZ][iI][pP]" -exec \
sh -c 'handle_single_file "$1"' ignored {} \;
That will work on any POSIX system, or most systems with POSIX-conforming find
and sh. You *may* have to specify full paths to the POSIX-conforming find and
sh commands.
