Problem

Is there any way to mount a zip (or tar, or any compressed file archive) as a volume on OSX? If this is a stupid question for some reason (the structure of zip archives), that would be good to know too.

Fix for: Mount Zip on OSX

Low Risk

Yep, if you install FUSE (Filesystem in User Space) and the fuse-zip extension. There is a GUI of sorts for FUSE called MacFuse that I'd recommend using. You can use FUSE to mount all sorts of things including files over ssh or flickr (yes really!)
