The answer is two fold. Yes, it uses zlib.dll for now untill I get the time to translate gzip. Honestly, zlib dependency is a small price to pay. Secondly, its more than just a gzip thing. Its also an archive format. I've taken the two most annoying probs about gzip and attacked them. the first is the one gzip per file thing. The second is encryption support. I've created the encryption componet, just today as a matter of fact. Blowfish is what I used if you must ask. Of course encryption is optional, as command line switch. If you choose to encrypt an archive prepare for serious encryption though, a full 448 bit blowfish. Fast and strong. Yes, I'm obsessed with blowfish, cause I can so freely use it. The blowfish componet is a DLL which you can you use in other projects if you like.

@jack: LGPL the source? LOL, maybe I will haven't figured it out yet.
