There seem to be a number of bugs around that issue in Windows, in some 
circumstances it can create names 256 characters relative to the current 
directory but then cannot delete them - to do that you need to go to the 
dos prompt, change the current directory and then delete.
Unfortunately, in Zipmaster, very early on the decision was made to 
never change the current directory so everything had to be done using 
absolute paths which are always subject to the MAX_PATH boundary.
