Unfortunately it is the 'minor' differences between the different Delphi
versions that cause so many problems, so I would expect even more =
problems
with something that is modelled on Delphi.
The way ZipMaster is now constructed may make it easier to port with the
TZipMaster class being a wrapper (of sorts) for the internal TZipWorker
class which does the work.
Differences in visual component interfaces should only affect TZipMaster
itself (plus TZipDialog).
It became too difficult to try to support both 32 and 64 bit support =
which
is the reason for dropping Delphi 3 support (still have trouble as some
version lack 64 bit file/stream functions).=20
When I get time I will see what obvious problems Lazarus and KOL have =
with
ZipMaster.

Dear DelZippers,
that unknown Lazarus is really "cool":
Still Alpha becoming Beta - instead of vice versa!

D1 was 16-Bit. Since I ever know DelZip (by Chris Vhleghert) , it was
always 32-Bit.
And "Open Source Software" is not a kind of *better* Software by only
beeing published as "Open Source Software".
Delphi is too expensive? YES! But Borland has/had offered some Delphi6 =
and
Delphi7 for free!
Nevertheless I think I'd like Lazarus (and will take a friendly look at =
it),
but NOT the way Sergio Marcelo (not an Italian!) forced Lazarus here :-)
Friendly regards,
Roland
