Hi all,

I have created and uploaded a new version of XbZLib, including a new version 
of the AGPZip program, to showcase the XbZLib Class.

As usually, the new version, including source code and pre-compiled DLL, 
LIB, and EXE files for XbZLib Version 2.03.183 and AGPZip Version 2.02.108,
can be downloaded from here:

	http://www.EJusticeSolutions.com/EJS_OnSite/XbZLib23.zip

I have included pre-compiled files for Xbase++ Version 1.90.355 as well as 
for Version 2.00.570.

And -- also as usual -- I still haven't updated the documentation. Please 
see the change log at the beginning of each file for an overview of the most 
significant changes.

The latest version corrects the routines to "Fix" corrupted Zip Files, 
specifically Zip Files that are missing their Central Directory entry at the 
end of the file, which can happen, e.g., if a file transfer was prematurely 
interrupted.

Additionally, I included a new feature to set a "Base Directory Name" for 
file entries that are added to a Zip file, as suggested by Hubert Brandel 
some time ago. That way, required Directory entries are stored in the Zip 
File, but only to a selectable level, omitting the remainder of the file 
structure, all the way down to the root directory. This makes the resulting 
directory structure in the Zip File relative to the selected Base Directory.

And, again as usual, any feedback, support and help is appreciated. If you 
use XbZLib or even AGPZip, let me know. If you want to contribute features, 
please post them here. We still need the options to create Zip64 structures, 
spanning (to split a Zip File into multiple smaller files) and various 
Password/Encryption options. And as mentioned before, the Help System still 
needs to be updated, too.

PS: I also made some small updates to the Xbase++ Error Code lists, which 
can be downloaded from here:

Enjoy,

Andreas

Thanks,

here are the DLL and LIB for 2.00.575

sorry, this was the wrong file, this is the right

The best way is to build the LIB self, it is not hard,
but for a new user to tricky 

The needed files are in different directorys because of
the different authors. And most will only need the DLL with the LIB.

I use such a file in the root dir of the new version ...

*-----------------------------------------------------------
REM this file have to be a CMD in the dir with XbZLib.XPJ !
@echo off
cls
ECHO get the files from phil ...
copy Phil\*.prg *.*
ECHO Active Xbase++ version:
xppload
pause
pbuild XbZLib.xpj /a
pause
MD  NewVer
del NewVer\*.* /q
copy *.exe NewVer\*.*
copy *.dll NewVer\*.*
copy *.lib NewVer\*.*
cls
echo List of new files:
echo.
echo DLL und LIB in Xbase++ LIB, DLL in Runtime or to EXE
echo.
dir NewVer\*.*
pause
*------------------------------------------------------------

I called mine HB_MAKE.CMD 

Hi Andreas,

   I am just testing this ZIP library, but I saw it does not support 
possibility to specify a PASSWORD to compress or uncompress. Is That true 
?

   If it does, how do I do it ?

   Obs: I am using <xbzlibzip> class.

   Thanks,
   Osvaldo

It is currently not possible to encrypt (or decrypt) any files with XbZLib. 
There are several different encryption formats possible with Zip files, but 
I haven't had the time (or need) to implement any of them, so far.

If you want, you can add such a feature yourself, though, as all the source 
code for XbZLib is available to you. If you do, please post your code, so it 
can be made part of the distribution and benefit all XbZLib users.

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

  Thanks for your reply.

  I think I dont have time to do it...

  In my case I just only to open ZIP files with Password.

  But I will check to find another way to do it.

  Thanks,
  Osvaldo
