I thank that if (quite likely) I can make it stop adding more files (after a
cancel) and make it complete the details for a proper zipfile then the
moment (well a little while after) you set the zipfilename you have a list
of the files done.
You don't really need to do anything special to restart unless you tell it
not to, it will use the files already zipped and add the rest.

> From memory, there is a property call something like FExclArgs that can
contain a list of files that should be excluded from a zip operation. If you
wish to suspend an operation in a manner that may be resumed later, you
firstly need to track which files have already been added. This must be done
by using the OnProgress event. If the zip operation is cleanly interrupted,
leaving a valid zip file, all that is required, in theory, is to resume the
zip operation with the previous value for FSpecArgs, etc. and use the list
of files already added as FExclArgs.

outcome.
