zip files and unzip files

[hag]

A major part of my program is users saving data to zip files. Then unziping back into the program. Never a problem in 16 bit version. Code doesn't work in 32 bit.

Looked at testzip.prg and testuzip.prg. Not working. Funcs don't exist.

Need help here....THanks in advance.

I use xHarbour's HB_ZIPFILE().

In its simplest form use:-
HB_ZIPFILE( cZipFile, aFiles2Zip)

Full spec is :

HB_ZIPFILE( <cFile>, <cFileToCompress> | <aFiles>, <nLevel>,;
<bBlock>, <lOverWrite>, <cPassword>, <lWithPath>,; <lWithDrive>, ; <pFileProgress> ) ---> lCompress

For unziping:

HB_UNZIPFILE( <cZipFile>, <bBlock>, <lWithPath>,;
<cPassWord>, <cPath>, <cFile> | <aFile>, <pFileProgress> ) ---> lCompress

Note that you must link HBZIP.lib and ZLIB.lib.

Works really well for me.

Thanks for the response. I'm using harbour. Where do I get the HBZIP.LIB and ZLIB.lib for hourbor? Not in the harbour files.
