I have the distinct feeling I am missing something obvious
here, by why can't you just unzip the files in some temporary
"data" directory, use FindFile to get all of their names,
and then read and delete them to your hearts content?

Using LUNs to access files would surely be hacker heaven,
but as for me, I'm content to use file *names*.
