[from memory, but i think correct]:

u_long zip(char *filename);

	returns: finished file size.

int  unzip(char *filename);

	returns: i forget...

i had the bargraph code hardwired in to interface to a third-party screen 
package.

here would be a good hack of the above:

u_long zip(char *filename, int (*stat_func)(int *blk_cnt));
int  unzip(char *filename, int (*stat_func)(int *blk_cnt));

in order to let the user do his own status display, and not doing status if
stat_func == NULL

I also think I reduced some table sizes in order to fit it nicely in the DOG 
limitations...  I don't really remember any signifigant speed reductions in
the reduction of the table sizes, and that was on a 10MHz 286.
