   Again, you assume too much.  In some cases, I expected
_not_ to have enough fuel to get to my destination, but I
expected to find a fuel depot sooner than I did.  I was very
well aware of the fuel supply as it was dwindling.

   And I don't see how "puzzling" and "easy" are always
antonyms.

   Different people may expect different things.  Many
reasonable people (among whom you seem not to be) might
expect Zip to be able to handle Stream and Stream_CR files
(with long and/or unterminated) records.

   You seem to have an intense personal interest in trying to
dispute the obvious.  (Or what should be obvious.)
