Hi! It is an interesting topic (to underline this: I am sitting here on vacation for a hadful of days using my mobile to write this mail ;-) ), though, due to some other OS projects I am really getting out of time. Anyway, the j.i.file way of truezip is the case why I didnt support this idea actively - i dont like this api. So, to reach the point having compress dealing with this stuff AND a working vfs provider will wake me up again ;-)
