What exactly does this program do?  If it actually starts the game, I 
would like to see some method of unzipping a file.  I don't have much 
hard drive space left and tend to zip games that I play rarely but want 
to keep around.  I know I can make a batch file to do the same thing, but 
so far I've been to lazy to do it.
