DESCRIPTION
       fuse-zip is a fuse filesystem, that enables any program to work with  a
       ZIP  archive  as  though  it is a plain directory.  Unlike KIO or Gnome
       VFS, it can be used in any application without modifications.

       Unlike other FUSE filesystems, only fuse-zip provides write support  to
       ZIP  archives.  Also, fuse-zip is faster that all known implementations
       on large archives with many files.

USAGE
       General usage would look like this


       1   mkdir /tmp/zipArchive
       2   fuse-zip foobar.zip /tmp/zipArchive
       3   (do something with the mounted file system)
       4   fusermount -u /tmp/zipArchive

       Be patient. Wait for fuse-zip process finish  after  unmounting,  espe‐
       cially on a big archives.
