    *  Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
    *  However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
    *  An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
    *  It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
    IF (loEntry.IsDirectory) THEN
        ? STR(i) + ": " + loEntry.FileName + " (directory)"
    ELSE
        ? STR(i) + ": " + loEntry.FileName
