ZLib or other zip libraries?

Hey guys, this is kind of off topic but i thought i'd ask anyway..

I want to be able to read zip files at runtime, which i am seeing a lot of people doing..

It would appear that ZLib is quite popular, however after looking at the ZLib API, i cant see any functions to manage the zip file's virtual directory structure, or to access individual files within the zip file... infact, the only functions of the sort i can see are gunzip related which seems fairly inappropriate..

Can anyone give me any info or fill in the blanks about what i should be doing to access the filesystem in standard .zip files (like quake's pak files/jar/etc)?

I must be missing something very obvious :)

try zziplib.

The zlib faq (on the official zlib site) suggests using minizip, which is in the contrib directory of the zlib distribution.
