ZipNote is a utility provided as part of the Info-ZIP suite of tools. It allows for viewing and editing ZIP file comments and names. ZipNote 3.0 (the latest stable release) has
a bug that prevents it from performing its editing functionality.
I reported this bug upstream and received a reply from Steven M. Schweda of the Info-ZIP development team. He confirmed that this was a known issue and was fixed in the Zip 3.1b beta release already. In the mean time he pointed out that zipnote.c needed only a very minor change to make this work.
I would therefore request the following changes be included in slackware-current.
Here is a patch to infozip.SlackBuild:

Thanks in advance for considering this request.
