1. it can be a 32-bit ZIP;
2. on the Spectrum you can only deflate and stored unpack, while others cannot,
and they are rare but found :(
3. YOU RUINED THEIR NAMES! but this should be like this
filename.typ
filename.0yp
filename.1yp
if the filename of at least one is different, then 'error iz ZIP', and the types too. Well and
despite this, IMHO they on the disk there should be in a row...
