I don't know what you mean by an empty zip file - all parts are only there as needed although I suppose it would be possible to make a file with just the 'end of central' record (this would fool a lot of programs into thing the file is a zip file). It depends upon your reason for wanting (needing) it The answer to question 2 also requires more information as it depends upon how/where you are storing the strings. The latest version of ZipMaster has a 'setable' function (I think in ZipStrs.pas) that can be used to return a string for a given resource number with complete freedom as to how you produce the string, so it can readily be used with resource or language dlls. - Russell Peters ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Aschbacher" <peter.aschbacher@xxxxxx> To: <delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 11:16 AM Subject: [delphizip] Create empty Zip file - Change language at runtime Hi, is there anybody who can answer these questions: 1. I need to create an EMPTY Zip file, but unfortunately I could not find any method in ZipMaster to do this! Ist there a direct method (without workarounds) to create an empty Zip file? If not, why not add this feature in the next version? 2. I have a multi-language application. How can I change the language of Zip messages at RUNTIME? Thanks in advance!
