- Unfortunately zip is not really designed for what most people want it
- for... It's primarily a hierarchical drawing editor/viewer. (Basically
- meaning that it lets you make/look at a drawing at various levels of
- detail.)
-
- To avoid the whitespace there are two things you must do. First , make
- the drawing occupy the entire visible space of the zip while the
- composition tools are in place. Second, resize the inset in browse mode
- until you are satisfied. (The month object apparently wants to be
- square(?))
