Zip and Unzip Using VB5 or VB6

This code shows how to use the freeware InfoZip Zip32.DLL and Unzip32.DLL files from the http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/ website. The InfoZip DLL’s are open-source DLL’s that are available for programmers to utilise free of charge. They are standard C DLLs and were very tricky/impossible to interface with VB until VB5/6 offered the ‘addressof’ operator.

Zippity Do Dah

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.

Info-ZIP

Info-ZIP is a diverse, Internet-based workgroup of about 20 primary authors and over one hundred beta-testers, formed in 1990 as a mailing list hosted by Keith Petersen on the original SimTel site at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Info-ZIP’s purpose is to provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the Zip and UnZip compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP by PKWARE, Inc.
