[AccessD] OT RE: Rar vs winzip

Hi Jim

I can see the value and power in the algorithm link you posted

Does anyone know of a VB equivalent?

I know nothing about Delphi or how to 'convert' from Delphi to VB(A)

Hi Arthur:

There are only a limited number of compression algorithms and as far as I
know they are all in the public domain, in one form or another (check out
the open source community if you have any doubts.). You are only paying for
the implementation and packaging now. 

I use to use and very much like LZH compression
(http://www.sxlist.com/techref/language/delphi/swag/ARCHIVES0041.html) along
with the PKZIP group of compression routines.

As a long-time user of winRAR, I did want to add one thing to this thread.
It can generate standard Zip files too. If you right-click from the Explorer
window, choose "add to archive" instead of automatically naming the file. A
dialog comes up enabling you to switch from RAR to ZIP format.
