once again I am annoyed by the lack of multi-volume support in most available ZIP implementations.

what if I need to read a file that spans floppies, infozip?

@foone Are they just cut into pieces, like, if you "cat" them toghether, it's a normal single zip again?
Maybe that could be implemented in a wrapper program using fuse or with ldpreload or so? Benefit would be, that'd work with any file and tool. Although, for some files, you would probably have to switch those floppies very often unless you cache some data.
