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, especially on a big archives.
