I've downloaded the PB Zip lib from purearea.net and I'm having alot of troubles. Last night I couldn't get my code to run, my program just crashed, so this morning I decided to have a look through the examples that come with the lib to see if I can get them to work. They crash to. I have Windows XP Pro, is that whats to blame?

For information : PBZIP does not work with PB versions > 3.90

As I understand it the author also lost all the source code in a computer crash so we aren't likely to see another release from him

PBZip was really a very good library, very easy to use.
It is regrettable.

Can somebody else create a new one? This would be very helpful.

Thats a shame, someone really should make another, similar lib. Some of the .dll's I've found on the internet are rather confusing. PBZip (from what I could gather from reading the help/test files) seemed really simple to use and impliment in a program.

if you desperately need it, you may want to write a wrapper around it in 3.90 or earlier, then turn it into a dll... not a beautifull way, but hey, if it works...
