Absolutely.

Absolutely not. If you just have a bunch of ZIPs, subdirectories might
be optional (you can think of the ZIPs as "subdirectories"), but if you
don't have ZIPs (and I see no reason why you should use ZIPs, there's
space for a lot of tutorials on a CD), you need the subdirectories to
structure the whole thing.

Why do think so?

No. In IRTC, every picture stands on its own. But on a tutorial CD-ROM,
all the files in a single tutorial belong together and should be in an
extra directory. If you have many tutorials, you might also want to
group related tutorials together.
