My Delphi was purchased in the UK I don't know if there was a special
release for the British market. I use V5.0 Build 6.18 (SP1).

As far as I know the dates would be taken directly from the file system by
the zipdll.

The zip file fails to create. When I have askled for a file to be sent to me
it got 'corrected' by the time I came to back it up.

Every file on the users drive is been zipped, using one of the scenarios
42,666 were selected for zipping of these files there were three batches of
2 X 200 and 1 X 140 files that caused an Abort Exception, the other 42,126
files were zipped okay. I this instance the zip setting was set to no
compression. The destination of the zipped files was a series of CDs I guess
the User had compression set on his CD writer.
To be honest I do not know whether the files are in the process of been
compressed or whether the zipdll is processing the file details. I'll put a
trace in my program to try and determine this.

Barry
