Though TarArchive remains to be written...
I've thought about referring to zips via URLs like some file managers
do, like file:// URLs with member names tacked on:
zip:///some/path/to/some.zip/membername
but it's hard to tell what the file name is, if you can't actually go
through directories and members. For instance, how would you ask a
user to insert a floppy containing:
zip:///some/path/to/some.zip/another.zip/name2/name3
Now is this:
zip name: /some/path/to/some.zip/another.zip member name: name2/name3
or:
zip name: /some/path/to/some.zip member name: another.zip/name2/name3
or even:
zip name: /some/path/to/some.zip/another.zip/name2 member name: name3
