Subject: Finding file information from .zips

I wish it would work for files where the size isn't included in the inf file
or the exact amount of spacing between the filename and the load address.
Also the load address is sometimes 8 or 6 bytes long. Many of the files
archived at TBL just don't have all this exact info and it is such a pain to
then edit them all by hand.

I give up using ADFS/DFS explorer half the time because of the bugs.
