[AccessD] Handle Zip and Cabinet folders (files)

[Gustav Brock]

Thanks Jim.

As for Linux, I don't know. I don't even have a Linux box to test with.
But I doubt it, except if you have Wine in mind.

For zip files, there must exist a bunch of similar code for Linux. 
The cabinet files though, is a tough one. I wonder if they even exist in the Linux world?

Hi Gustav:

A very fine piece of work...impressive. Additionally, the documentation is a thing of beauty. :-)

Aside: I wonder if the app can be made to run on a Linux box? Can you put it into a container? ;-)

Hi all

Should you wish to zip/unzip or compress/decompress zip or cabinet folders (files), I've put up functions for this at Experts Exchange:

    Zip and unzip files and folders with VBA the Windows Explorer way
    https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/31130/Zip-and-unzip-files-and-folders-with-VBA-the-Windows-Explorer-way.html

    Handle cabinet files and folders with VBA the Windows Explorer way
    https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/31144/Handle-cabinet-files-and-folders-with-VBA-the-Windows-Explorer-way.html

Code is also at GitHub: https://github.com/GustavBrock/VBA.Compress.git

I used the old trick from Stuart to create a zip folder - thanks!
