>Has anyone used zlib to do compression from visual foxpro into an archive (multiple files compressed into one)? I need to know if this is possible.
Hi Scott,
Check out "Squeeze Data with DynaZip" by T. Roche in the May 99 issue of
FoxPro Advisor for tips on how to incorporate a commercial Zip utility into a VFP application.
As to merely ziping/unziping the application and associated file, there should be no problem with any Pkzip™-compliant utility. I do it all the time with no ill effects.
