This directory contains a Visual Basic project example for
|
|
using the zip32.dll library. 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 VB 6.
|
|
|
|
Zip 2.31 itself had bug fixes as well, including some related to the
|
|
dll, and you should now use a version of zip32.dll from that or later.
|
|
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 this Zip 3.0 release and a
|
|
new VB project is included in the VBz64 directory. This dll and
|
|
project supports Zip64 and large files but is not backward compatible
|
|
with Zip32.dll. You will need the new zip32z64.dll to use this project,
|
|
which can be compiled from Zip 3.0. See windll/VBz64 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.
