Hi Dave,

The default "-x" operation is to extract to the current directory,
ignoring any path information. In the code as I've modified it the
extract with directories "-xd" builds the contained directory tree
with the current directory as the base.
Storing directory paths does not force re-building of the directory
structure (just like pkzip).
