OK guys, sounds like the sort of fiddling I'd intend is best done outside of Calibre. Still, I think if you've got something that you're happy with the structure of it'd be nice to be able to convert without picking through and re-structuring.

About TXTZ though, a conversion yields this:

\The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (11709)
..\cover.jpg
..\metadata.opf
..\The Complete Works of William Shakespear - William Shakespeare.txt 5.3mb
..\The Complete Works of William Shakespear - William Shakespeare.txtz
..\..\cover.jpg
..\..\index.txt 1990kb
..\..\metadata.opf

Good with the commentary, but does interesting things to the iambic pentameter... What would be the consequences of zipping text files myself en masse and ending up with:

\The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (11079)
..\cover.jpg
..\metadata.opf
..\The Complete Works of William Shakespear - William Shakespeare.txtz
..\..\The Complete Works of William Shakespear - William Shakespeare.txt 1990kb

And then doing a database restore to pick up the txtz files.

As an aside, any chance of getting windows mime code for txtz that would let windows explorer open the archive, or launch a text editor to open the text file?
