If you open a ZIP file with 7-ZIP and check the properties, you only get the algorithm (Deflate), but not the compression level. And if you want to create a ZIP file, you have
6 generic compression level options that do not have any meaning, as DEFLATE only has
2 levels (Z_BEST_SPEED and Z_BEST_COMPRESSION)!
So if the user is pleased with meaningless options, just add a trackbar that does nothing... as only 2 options may no satisfy him !
Anyway, I may add PureZIP_SetCompressionLevel() in a future version ... to please my users !

The unicode version of PureZIP translates unicode to OEM and vice-versa. It works, but it is not 'true' unicode support...

I have no idea. I only know that the genuine PKZIP 2.04g archive format does not support unicode, and that some modern archivers use a workaround to store unicode filenames (see my previous post).
