I'm afraid you are confused.
The GLOBE_3D library is using the Zip-Ada library (for managing textures and other items), but fortunately not the reverse...

It depends on what you mean by "formally documenting", but there are commented package specifications, an introductory note (zipada.txt), small demos, tools, tests.
For instance there is a demo called Demo_UnZip which demonstrates UnZip.Streams. I'd start from there...

last_dot, last_slash: Natural:= 0;

for i in name'Range loop
  case name(i) is
    when '.'       => last_dot:= i;
    when '/' | '\' => last_slash:= i;
  end case;
end loop;

Or you can use Ada.Directories, there are functions to do these splits.
