I really, really would like to see 234 and 244 in Tcl 8.6 finally. I  
have been using the reference implementations for a longer period now  
and they work for me (on MacOS X and Linux). Just one thing. It has  
been said before, that handling of zip files like reading entries or  
writing them is a simpe task of some Tcl scripting. It would be nice  
if such a tcl script/wrapper could be included in the distribution. I  
don't have it myself but always felt it was missing.
