Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a Linux counterpart to the Windows
ability to treat Zip files as if they're just directories,
transparently deriving directory information and automatically
extracting their contents on demand?

For what I'd like to be able to do, a KDE I/O slave will not
suffice, it has to be system-wide and transparent so arbitrary
scripts and applications can access it.


Thanks in advance for any pointers anyone has.

Randall:

That would appear to be a major redesign of how Linux and KDE (or
Gnome) interact.

FUSE is the answer. Check out the other links I posted:
