Except GNUstep doesn't run on VMS. And if for example, you're also
talking about resource forks, .zip files don't preserve resource
forks, so you're back at square one. There is a tar like program
(think it's called xar or something similar) which does preserve
resource forks. Just a thought.
The main point though is that you can embed whatever header you deem
interesting in the zip, and more importantly, you have direct access
to the catalog.
