Spangly's zip lib

Post by Fangbeast »

Been playing with Spangly's zip library, good stuff. Just one problem (and he hasn't been around in ages), I cannot store path info in the zip files.

Anyone used his library and knows if it can do that and has an example?

I religiously read the text\help files and his examples and it wasn't clear to me. Even forum search didn't lead me to that page (probably half asleep).

Thanks for the help, 2 miutes worth of changes to code and all is well with the world.

Nice example Jurgen! Thanks. 8)

I get the dreaded: POLINK:Fatal Error (I 'm using ver 3.91 Beta 1)


It has to do with the structure declaration fd.WIN32_FIND_DATA

This is already declared so I'm not sure where to fix it. I'll dig into this.

Spangly's zip library don't work with PB versions > 3.90 (Fred changed the linker).
You could try the new PureZIP library viewtopic.php?t=15322 ; it has all the functions Spangly's library had and more. I translated all my projects from Spangly's zip library to PureZIP without problems.
For free libraries and tools, visit my web site (also home of jaPBe V3 and PureFORM).
