Zip passwords (pathetically weak as they are) are byte values which is reasonable under Ansi but how do I handle them in Unicode? My present conversions for C2009 & D2009 convert to AnsiString (current CodePage) and use that but I fear the translation makes them less reproducable. In theory the password must work with other programs too. Any ideas?
