Actually I did something about it a couple of years ago,
but the information got buried in the "Extra Stuff from RDS" section.
unzip.txt gets automatically updated at the end of each month.
I've now copied the link to the main page 
in the Search area on the right side.
See the new link:
    "Search 1,700 contributed programs
    (files contained in .zip/.tar)"

    http://www.rapideuphoria.com/unzip.txt

This is just file names though, not routine names.
The .zips/.tgz's are in alphabetical order.
You can also see the file dates and sizes, so you can
try to find the latest version of an include file.

In addition to the normal *file description* search,
    http://www.rapideuphoria.com/archive.htm
there is also Aku's source file *content* search for the
whole Archive, (also on the main Euphoria page).
It seems to be about one year out of date:

Maybe Aku (are you out there?) can tell us how to maintain this.
