Regarding the zip patch that moe made.
Its great!
However three slight ajustments i'd like:
1: If there is a directory mounted as a drive you can't mount a zip inside the "drive" as another drive. This could be default behavior of dosbox for files or also for directories (haven't tested it)
2: you can't drag and drop a zipfile into the dosbox.exe since dosbox refuses to mount a file.
3: A big one. I'd like that a special file is established in the dosbox directory for the case o f the mounting of zips that has (for example) the crc's of the zip file followed by the open files modifications only (in a format maybe like the diff program), that is persistant. A lot of work, and it merits some warnings about diskspace, but it would enable games that write to files, that can't possibly work with the way its implemented now.
