to add to Malcolm's reccommendation: You have callback functions and a demo project *in vfp* showing the progress on a vfp form, so this probably the best way to integrate user feedback into your app - you can use YOUR vfp knowledge and existing layouts if you wish. I worked only peripheral on it by subclassing and overwriting a bit to create the currently used demo screens...

If you are a member of the german user group (there are also large english sections in the portal) the use is free, but I guess you save the $50 just by having a working vfp GUI for the zip/unzip process out of the box. I have used dynazip as well, but I spent more time checking out the different options of dynazip than rewriting the GUI of of the dfpug thingie (and I still wonder today why zipping via disk was faster than the in-memory option in a previous version of dynazip <g>).

Deployment is a breeze: 1 fll and if any GUI is needed, their vcx...
