You would still need to extract it (unless the .ZIP file is stored using no compression in which case you can just offset to the
correct part of the file and read out the bytes - this will not often be the case though..) Once you find the file you're after
you'll need to fall back on a 3'rd party library to extract the file(s), I'm not sure which method would be faster to parse the
headers but you've got both there should you wish to do some testing.
Hope this helps,
