Subject: Re: Rubyzip problem on Vista?

I went to Rubyzip's sourceforge page and found a good number of open
bugs including one issue with Windows and directories (though may not
be the same one). This library seems like its not being maintained
anymore. Last bugfix was 2/2007? The Windows bug I mentioned open
since 2006. Looks like I'll have to build my zip using other means.
