Neither of those is free; both require licensing fees for use in an application.

Doug Hennig wrote an article in FoxTalk in May or June of 2000 covering the use of WinZip with the command line extension module; he used it with my API_APPRUN class to handle running the WinApp in a modal fashion - VFP runs WinApps asynchronously through the native RUN command; VFP doesn't wait for the app to terminate before proceeding with a program. API_APPRUN has the option to wait on termination.
