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.

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. Arthur On Tue, Feb 12, 2008 at 12:38 PM, jwcolby <jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com> wrote: > Yep, and that is precisely what happened.
