As has been noted, I was wrong to say the 256 character filename limit 
is part of the zip format - I was getting confused with another file 
format. The maximum length imposed by the zip format is 64K characters.

I apologise for any confusion I have caused.

As to the solution - would setting the rootdir to "\\?\C:\" (or whatever 
drive letter is required) work?

If the DLLs set a limit of 256 characters, could that limit be increased 
to 1024 characters? That should be large enough to cope without grabbing 
so much memory that it would be a problem on modern computers.
