Ned has done a fix for this which seems to take care of the problems
with extracting content from Zip files (see below).  Unfortunately the
fix has a problem: If you create an archive on Windows which contains
multiple levels of directory, it will walkback.  Also he mentions a
problem with large archive files having extra bytes written to the end
of the file.

If anyone has time to quickly tackle this and do some good testing on
the
results, it would be great to get a working ArchiveTool into 3.2!!!!!

Testing could include:
	Build a large and deep directory tree
		Include at least one empty directory
		Include at least one empty file
	Zip it using Squeak Archive Tool
	Use "pkzip25.exe -test" option to validate the Squeak archive result
	Extract the squeak archive tree into a different location
	Compare all the files and directories of the extracted and the original
	Repeat on Mac, Linux, Windows
