perhaps the unx vs fat bit is unimportant, but the t- vs b- part probably
is.  what's baffling me is the zip manual claims that zip -r zipfile
replacementfile will replace the file in the archive, but what happens is
it says "nothing to do!"  do i really have to go find a windows machine to
get the file into the zip archive in binary format?
