You're right; I made a bad assumption.

Except there's nothing "simple" about that, really. See, I don't know
of any file system outside of classic Mac OS HFS that allows slashes
in filenames. Not UNIX, not Windows, not Amiga, not VMS . . . I
mean, a ZIP file is just that: a file; as long as you honor the format
spec you can write arbitrary bytes to it to construct whatever sort
of filename you want. But normally such an archive is created out of
actual files that already exist in a file system somewhere, so I had
just blithely assumed that the filenames themselves wouldn't really
have slashes.
