Al Williams wrote an excellent article on using the Info-Zip DLLs to manipulate Zip files. There are lots of commercial libraries that let you access Zip files, but your choices in free software are few and far between. So if you need a free solution, Al’s article is a must-read. Many thanks to Al for getting this back on line after Visual Developer’s web site disappeared.
