I have large collections of modules, and they all are single files compressed
into ZIP file.
To additionaly save space and reduce file numbers, I have this (from 1 to 50)
ZIP files
packed (without compression) into single ZIP file. Many modules collection
also comes this way.

Unfortunetly mikmod do not handle this well. I need to unpack module prior to
playing,
or use avfs (fuse file system which can mount archives of many types).

Please consider supporting recursiv archives (it would be nice if other
combinations
and types of archive formats would be working).

Thanks.

Hi!

Supporting zipped modules inside another zip is something that would
need to be done upstream. But seeing as upstream hasn't been active for
half a decade, the chances of this feature ever getting implemented is
approaching zero.

For that reason, I'm marking this wontfix.

(The avfs workaround is probably easier and more convenient than direct
support in mikmod would be, I believe)
