Yes but we still have Delphi 2007. It only has TCompressionStream but no TZCompressionStream. Maybe we could just add our own metadata wrapper instead of gzip or a zlib wrapper. Well, it does not sound like a clever thing to do. We have used tpabbrevia but it has a bug with very big files (like 6 GB). Its code is not easy to understand and I would rather not start searching the bug. Marco, what was the FPC counterpart for TZCompressionStream in your Delphi-compatible code? FPC does not have TZCompressionStream either.
