There are many Zip compression components in the marketplace. This web page is a summary of the most popular Zip components available and provides a side-by-side comparison of the features and pricing of each. This review focuses on components used by Microsoft developers in Visual Basic, ASP, Visual C++, and Visual FoxPro applications.
