I can't reproduce this.  Do you have an example of a zip file that shows
this problem?

---------------------

Sorry, i can't reproduced what i wrote. I think rather that i wrote  
wrong. Here's a correct report:

When opening a zip archive of a single file, emacs displays the zip  
archive's index (which is just a single file), as opposed to the  
decompressed file content.

I think when the zip file is a single file, it is more useful to  
display file content and allow transparent editing.

For what's worth,

Thanks.
