Hi,

any chance to include in later CodeTyphon release a Zip/UnZip component (from LZMA code maybe )?

Kostas

p.s. for the time being i am using the 'unzip51g.pas' unit since it works better than anything else i have (managed to) tried

Any suggestion Sir

For the time being i have in mind the ZipFile Component (from the Lazarus-CCR), the Abbrevia 3.05 Component from Turbo Power
and the African Chief's Info-Zip compatible Components.
These are quite good components but:

-TZipFile failed in some .zip files but i didn't check thoroughly the cause of it.
-Abbrevia uses 32bit assembly and it does not compile on my 64bit CodeTyphon installation..

..still searching in the net for Pascal Components (with source) that will do the job for all
flavors of Lazarus (Win/Lin & 32/64 bits).

I will try to find
Zip source Code (Multi-OS) for next release

There is already a package in the FPC installation named 'paszlib' in "C:\pp\packages\paszlib\src". Inside that package
is a component named 'zipper'. It has a TZipper class and a TUnZipper one.

It is really simple to integrate in a project and it is working in Win32, Win64, Lin32(Ubuntu 10.10) and Lin64(Ubuntu 10.10).
If i have the time i will try to see if it works in other Linux distros...

Thanks Sir
