Subject: zLibAda vs ZipAda (which should I use, if any)?

Hi all, I'm faced with two possible options for reading/accessing the contents of a zip (.zip) file from within my Ada application. One option is to use zLibAda (by Dmitriy: http://zlib-ada.sourceforge.net/), the other is to use ZipAda (by Gautier: http://unzip-ada.sourceforge.net/). I have no idea how either one works and/or if they are appropriate for what I want to do!

On one hand, zLibAda (original zLib in C) is really well documented online but zLibAda is essentially a wrapper to the zLib DLL (I think). On the other, ZipAda is written in Ada, makes a clean compile, but it might not be entirely documented (essentially, I have no idea what I'm looking at/for).  

Anyway, my objective is to read a zip (.zip) file that contains compressed images (bmp, jpg, tga, etc...) and then build a list (table) of available images with its attributes (name... and/or I can determine its size separately if I have access, etc...).

I don't want to go through both zLibAda and ZipAda only to find out I'm on the wrong path so I was hopping someone might have used these package and mind  enlightening me on their use (assume the file I'm reading is "Images.zip", and has say 5 images of 250x250 pixels).

Thanks o/
Aurele
