I have the following directory structure to zip
eeva - root directory, does not contain files
eeva\algus - default working directory of my application. Is current when
zip object is created . May not contain files to zip
eeva\andmed - contains a lot of *.dbf, *.fpt files to zip
eeva\firma1 - contains a lot of *.dbf, *.fpt files to zip
I need to store relative pathnames in zip archieve.
My zipping code changes current directory to eeva before calling Add method
and after Add restores it to algus. Zipping code is :
.AddDirNames = .t.
.AddRecurseDirs = .t.
.FSpecArgs.Add('*.dbf')
.FSpecArgs.Add('*.fpt')
.FSpecArgs.Add('*.fr?')
.FSpecArgs.Add('*.bmp')
SET DEFAULT TO ..
.Add
SET DEFAULT TO algus
I can send you problably the old zip dll sources if you don't have them.
