I don't really have time to investigate this right now, as I have a deadline 
that is already in the past. However, here is some information:

This is the easy one, and can be fixed by changing the open from 
oldFileNamed: to readOnlyFileNamed: in ZipArchive>>readFrom:

Yes, I need to change the $/ to $\ for Windows (or to $: for the Mac). I'll 
do this soon.

I did find a more serious problem when writing the same file back out: it 
seems to get stuck and/or write extra bytes to the file. Haven't looked into

Anyone want to look at this last problem?
