At the point of the contents shown on-screen...

Press F2 and save the ZIP where you want.

If you prefer the saveas screen to come-up automatically.

Simply comment-out these lines in mime.cfg by placeing a ';'
at the start of each line.

;application/zip          ZIP>TXT|[300]unzip -l -v $1>$2
;application/x-zip        ZIP>TXT|[300]unzip -l -v $1>$2
;application/x-zipped     ZIP>TXT|[300]unzip -l -v $1>$2
;file/.zip                   >TXT|[300]unzip -l -v $1>$2

With those 4 lines in the [glennmcc stuff] section near the
top of the file commented-out... these orginal lines further
down will now get used instead.

application/zip          ZIP
application/x-zipped     ZIP
application/zip          ZIP
;file/.zip          >TXT|[300]unzip -l -v $1>$2

As you see, the original line for 'file/.zip' was aready commented-out.

Therefore, linking to any ZIP file on our HDDs would simply pop-up the
unkown file type screen with this message.

"Arachne doesn't know how to handle following file type:"

By uncommenting those lines... Arachne now _does_ know haw to handle it.

She now shows us the contents of the ZIP file so that we can decide
wheather or not to save it to disk.

If contains nothing of interest... we can now just go ahead and
deltete it without saveing it somewhere to be later unzipped to
find out what's in it. (now we already know what's in it)
