   Seriously?  Is this really a complicated or otherwise
tricky concept?

   Here's an example of an error which I'd expect:

alp $ zip31l d0:[0000000]fred.zip login.com
zip I/O error: no such file or directory
zip error: Could not create output file (d0:[0000000]fred.zip)

   The (excessively quoted) original complaint shows an error
which I wouldn't (and didn't) expect.  (And don't expect to
see again, in the next Zip beta kit, and beyond.)

   I wasn't expecting an inquiry so devoid of value.  (Call
me an optimist.)  Time spent on specious nit-picking might be
better spent on testing the actual code involved here.

   Just a thought.
