I guess that is the best method to retrieve a list, but you could include extra info on the command...
Something like:
ZipGetFile(filenumber[,flags])
where flags would be:
#Zname
#Zsize
#Zdate
#Zdir
#Zfileattr
etc...
OK

what about a function that you pass a structure to, and that fills it in with the file details?

how about the same way ExamineDirectory() works;
ExamineZip()
NextZipEntry()
a structure works too, which ever seams best.

All is ok.
What is a "20" meaning as a file attribute ?
You could build a resident file to put the constants and structure ?
Then the user doesn't have to write it.
Thank's
Dominique.

I'll create a resident file for the next version
As for the fille attribute question, file attributes in a zip file are a 32bit integer used by whatever operating system the zip file was created on.
If it was created under windows, then it is the value returned by the winapi function GetFileAttributes_("filename")
I'll alter the function so that if the zip wasn't created under windows, the file attribute will be zero or -1 or something invalid.
PBZip 0.04

New version available, check the readme and examples.
There will be a better help file for it once I'm happy with how it all works.
Includes a PBZip.res file now
and it's a lot more stable.
Here's a list of functions available in this version...
ZipSetProgressCallback
ZipOpen
ZipClose
ZipGetFileName
ZipExtractFile
ZipFindFile
ZipExtractFileName
ZipGetFileInfo

You seam to have done your homework pretty well, it's being used currently by a cd databasing software, scanning the zip for files and storing them, it's processed 10's of 1000's of zip files without problem.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I haven't had any reports of problems so far, so I'm working on the creation of zip files now. and will hopefully have a version working in the next few days.

Excellent work!
PBZip 1.00 Released...

PBZip 1.00 is now released, grab it from my site.
It's a complete rewrite, should now be more compatible with most (if not all) Zip Archives.
Some of the functions have changed, and you can now Create and add files to Archives.
Happy Zipping!

I am curious why a message box pops up when I try to create a new zip archive and add a file to it using your Zip Lib?
Message box says...
Title: Info
Message: Here
Also after creating a ZIP archive using your Lib, if I open it and use ZipGetFileInfo() the date returned is always 00/00/

I've removed the message box, it was left over from when I was
debugging a crash and forgot to remove it.
It should now store the correct file date and time when adding files.
The new version is online now.
