Zip / Unzip from an Ada progam - which library ?

Zip / Unzip from an Ada progam - which library ?

[Jérôme]

Hello

I need to handle Zip files,  from an Ada program of course, on a Win32
platform.
I have been looking at Unzip-Ada (http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/
gdm/unzipada.htm)
(BTW, thanks to Gautier)


So, if anybody once had the same need, I would be grateful to know
what was the final solution.

Regards

Jérôme

PS : I already start to write zip procedure, without compression
only.
I have still a little problem with file name encoding, but If anybody
is interested, I could share my work.

You may also write a binding to one of the ZIP libraries, such as
the one in

You are welcome!

If I understand well, you want to extract files from a .zip file, but also 
archive file(s) into a .zip file.
You are lucky, as from the latest versions of UnZip-Ada, the library is now 
split into a Zip[.*] (package and children) one, which facilitates handling of 
.zip files (including creating ones), and the usual UnZip[.*] dedicated to 
decompression only. You can look at the ZipAda demo tool for archiving - without 
compression yet.
