This is the best one yet, but it's not really all about data any more.
 Maybe 25% of the functions are data fields.  I could call it
form-a-matic.  But it's a bit awkward in the tongue.

Perhaps referring to zip forms, rather than a zip engine might clarify
any potential confusion with zip files?  Plus I could stick with the
code I got...  I'm uploading the docs this morning.

Won't list officially in the cookbook till I've done a better job
testing things.
