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.

Others have provided answers on this thread, I just wanted
to ask a question:

Are you sure Vista provides this as transparently as you are requesting
for Linux?

Because if you open a cmd prompt and CD to a
zip name Vista will slap you down. Its really only explorer that
can do that, same as Konqueror. And I don't know of
a Fuse extension for Vista.
