   A recent pre-release ("BETA") kit seems to do better:

alp $ copy BMT_C2.ZIP BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP

alp $ unzip6l -l BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP
Archive:  ALP$DKA0:[SMS.ITRC]BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP;1
  Length      Date    Time    Name

      323                     1 file

alp $ zipnote31bl :== $ ALP$DKA0:[UTILITY.SOURCE.ZIP.ZIP31B.ALPHAL]
ZIPNOTE.EXE

alp $ pipe zipnote31bl BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP > BMT_C2.ZN

alp $ type BMT_C2.ZN

alp $

A little editing, and:

alp $ type BMT_C2.ZN_MOD
@ -
@=new_member_name
@ (comment above this line)
@ (zip file comment below this line)
alp $

alp $ pipe zipnote31bl -w BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP < BMT_C2.ZN_MOD

alp $ unzip6l -l BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP
Archive:  ALP$DKA0:[SMS.ITRC]BMT_C2_ZN.ZIP;1
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
      323  12-04-2009 11:39   new_member_name
---------                     -------
      323                     1 file

   What could go wrong?

alp $ zipnote31bl -v
