This project updates the Zip 2.3 VB +project example and includes some bug fixes and many additional notes +but is still compatible with zip32.dll. See the comments in the form +and project files for details. It has been tested on VB 5 and VB6. + +Zip 2.31 itself has bug fixes as well, including some related to the +dll, and you should now use a version of zip32.dll from that. This +dll includes a fix for the VB dll bug where Date, szRootDir, and +szTempDir were not passed in correctly and setting these to anything +but NULL could impact the dll and maybe crash it. You can tell which +version you have by right clicking on zip32.dll in a file listing, +looking at properties, selecting the Version tab, and verifying the +Product Version is at least 2.31. + +A new dll is available as part of the new Zip 3.0 beta. A new +VB project included with that release now supports Zip64 and large +files and it fixes even more bugs but is not backward compatible +with zip32.dll. You will need the new dll zip32z64.dll to use that +VB project, which can be compiled from the Zip 3.0 source. See +windll/VBz64 in that release for details. + +Note that the files may saved in unix format with carriage returns +stripped. These must be restored before the project can be successfully +used. This can be done by using the -a option to unzip. Another way to +do this is to open each file in WordPad, select and cut a line, paste +the line back, and save the file. This will force WordPad to format +the entire file. + +Ed Gordon +3/1/2005 |
