+ calls <c>Fun(FileInArchive, GetInfo, GetBin, AccIn)</c> on
+ successive files in the <c>Archive</c>, starting with <c>AccIn
+ == Acc0</c>. <c>FileInArchive</c> is the name that the file
+ has in the archive. <c>GetInfo</c> is a fun that returns info
+ about the the file. <c>GetBin</c> returns the contents of the
+ file. Both <c>GetInfo</c> and <c>GetBin</c> must be called
+ within the <c>Fun</c>. Their behavior is undefined if they are
