I might have, but I was too busy dropping individual items in each 'room' of the maze of twisty little passages, to try to map them. Then I said "Bunyan" and something I was carrying vibrated and ... oh wait ... that was Scott Adams adventure.

Does anybody know of an easy, efficient way to [update one file

John Yeung replied:

Is there any reason you can't use jar or ajar? For example,

jar uf FROBOZZ.zip REZROV.pdf

(I have not tested that on the i; but that jar command is supposed to
do exactly what you are asking.)

That makes a great deal of sense, and I never even thought of using JAR. I'll run some response time tests next week.

(I wonder if anybody caught the Infocom references this time).
