That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field. 
    1 HOWLS!!!  Thank you for pulling this latest release of Slirp.

    3 The new maintainer for Slirp is Kelly "STrRedWolf" Price
    4 The homepage is now http://slirp.sourceforge.net

    6 Now, this is a new release with new numbering similar to the Linux kernel,
    7 so if you see a x.even.x release, it's a stable release, while x.odd.x is a
    8 developmental release.

   10 Do read the README.NEXT file located here fully.  I(Kelly) am getting alot of
   11 bug reports that don't have alot of stuff to go on.  Also contained in that
   12 file is info on the mailing list.  Read it if you want to mess around with it,
   13 there's alot to do inside!!!

   15 One last thing.  For the arbitrary tty, set the enviroment varible SLIRP_TTY
   16 to where you need to connect.  I use SLIRP_TTY=/dev/pilot slirp for my
   17 Palm Pilot.

   22 Update by Roger Plant
   23 
   24 You can now use something like "tty /dev/ttyS0" on the command line to
   25 set up an alternate tty.
   26 
   27 For use under CYGWIN
   28 
   29 You will need to supply a "dns YourDnsIP" option
   30 slirp will not find it's DNS's under windows.
   31 Alternatively you could possibly create and fill in a /etc/resolv.conf
   32 file (Not tested...)
   33 
   34 Modify the Makefile to have the -MS_DCC option enabled, It will allow a
   35 direct cable connect into Slirp, PPP mode only. (This option works on
   36 other platforms too, but is most likely to be useful for windows)
   37 
   38 Also if it compiles, but doesn't work, try backing off the optimizer.
   39 eg. -O1 instead of -O2, or even delete the option completely. This
   40 applies to all platforms. Thanks Arnold Shulz

   43 SECURITY
   44 
   45 SLIRP remains insecure.
   46 
   47 Most though not all of the buffer overflow issues indicated by Tim have
   48 been addressed.
   49 
   50 Slirp is a User program.
   51 
   52 Anyone using slirp via a PPP connection, has or can obtain the
   53 privileges that slirp is running at.
