Are you sure they are not creating a new file in order to delete
content? I recall that early zip tools (e.g. pkzip) had a mode
where they would merely delete the entry from the directory, but
leave the actual data in the file. Would you consider that a correct
implementation? If so, *that* can be done, for zipfiles, AFAIU.

Please do - you'll find that deletion from zipfiles comes in a can
full of worms. |
