Well, I tryed it, but I got stuck with some problems: 1 - I couldn't find anyway to tell it how the file will be called inside the Zip file, and therefore I can't add the file "with a name" There is TZipper.ZipFiles and receives a TStringList with the names of the files on disk to be zipped. There is no parameter to tell how the files will be called inside the Zip file. I tryed to follow the code to see it something like that is possible, and a found a TZipItem with some structure members about a path. Unfortunately both refer too to the file on the disk that will be zipper, nothing about the name inside the zip file. 2 - It doesn't allow to give a stream of data to be compressed into a zip file. My data is on memory, saving it and re-reading is a waste. This one is easy to fix without knowledge of zip format, and I started building a TZipper. ZipStreams, but then I met problem 1 and gave up, because it is a show stopper, and not at all easy to solve (I don't understand anything about zip file structure). thanks, -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
