One option is to u= se 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 othe= r, ZipAda is written in Ada, makes a clean compile, but it might not be ent= irely documented (essentially, I have no idea what I'm looking at/for). =20 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 i= mages with its attributes (name... and/or I can determine its size separate= ly 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 m= ind enlightening me on their use (assume the file I'm reading is "Images.z= ip", and has say 5 images of 250x250 pixels).
