[Oberon] Homework on ZipTool

Hi

has everyone seen, that there is also a ZipTool.Open Command. You can view the contents of a file without extracting.
This was a function I prefered in the Compress-Package. Since it was not implemented in the Zip I send Stefan Walther the new function and it was released in a native-alpha-version 1 year ago.

Unfortunately I forgot to change the Zip.Tool (ZipDocs is changed). 
Can Pieter / Stefan change that?

Why is the Command 'Open'? Perhaps 'View' (as WinZip) would be better but then it is not consistent with the Compress.Tool
