There is currently no support for it, so you'll have to write it
yourself. This is a bit more difficult than what neko.zip.File.read is
doing since you need to produce valid informations while 'read' is just
skipping the infos it doesn't need.

You can read the file format specification there :

In case you write it, I'll review and integrate it into the standard
haXe distribution.

Best,
