+
+This is the ZIP archiving VFS (Virtual File System) plugin for Tux Commander 
+file manager. It uses external ZipArchive library, which is statically linked 
+thus no additional system libraries are required. Both plugin and the library 
+are pretty stable for normal use at their current versions.
+
+Feature highlights:
+  *  full read/write support for ZIP archives
+  *  full support for Unix file and directory permissions
+  *  password protection support (read/write)
+
+To be implemented:
+  *  archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API)
+  *  creating archives from scratch (needs new VFS API)
+  *  compression level setting (needs new VFS API)
+  *  multidisk archives 
+
+The current VFS implementation in Tux Commander lacks some extended features
+for both archiving and remote filesystems. This is one of the main goals for 
+the 0.6.x series.
+
+
+Known issues:
+ - ZipArchive library won't compile under gcc v4.3.0
+ - Modifying password protected archive might lead to data corruption
+
+
+
+For successful compilation you will need working gcc compiler and glib2 
+library installed with development files. The ZipArchive library sources are 
+included, no external files are required. 
+
+Compilation has been tested with gcc compiler v4.2.3
