Excerpts from netnews.comp.soft-sys.andrew: 17-Nov-92 help with insets

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(?))

Hope this helps,
