    NAME
           zipdetails - display the internal structure of
           zip files
    
    SYNOPSIS
    	   zipdetaile [-v] zipfile.zip
    	       zipdetails -h
    
    DESCRIPTION
           Zipdetails displays information about the
           internal record structure of the zip file. It
           is not concerned with displaying any details
           of the compressed data stored in the zip file.
    
           The program assumes prior understanding of the
           internal structure of a Zip file. You should
           have a copy of the Zip APPNOTE file at hand to
           help understand the output from this program
           ("SEE ALSO" for details).
    
       OPTIONS
           -v   Enable Verbose mode
    
           -h   Display help
    
           By default zipdetails will output the details
           of the zip file in three columns.
    
           Column 1
    	    This contains the offset from the start
    	    of the file in hex.
    
           Column 2
    	    This contains a textual description of
    	    the field.
    
           Column 3
    	    If the field contains a numeric value it
    	    will be displayed in hex. Zip stored most
    	    numbers in little-endian format - the
    	    value displayed will have the little-
    	    endian encoding removed.
    
    	    Next, is an optional description of what
    	    the value means.
    
           If the "-v" option is present, column 1 is
           expanded to include
    
           o    The offset from the start of the file in
    	    hex.
    
           o    The length of the filed in hex.
    
           o    A hex dump of the bytes in field in the
    	    order they are stored in the zip file.
    
    TODO
           Error handling is still a work in progress.
           If the program encounters a problem reading a
           zip file it is likely to terminate with an
           unhelpful error message.
    
    SEE ALSO
           The primary reference for Zip files is the
           "appnote" document available at
           <http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT>.
    
           An alternative reference is the Info-Zip
           appnote. This is available from
           <ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/doc/>
    
           The "zipinfo" program that comes with the
           info-zip distribution
           (<http://www.info-zip.org/>) can also display
           details of the structure of a zip file.
