Thanks, Roger Aelbrecht idea seems to be interesting but to decompress this
zip file I have to use my program and not for example winrar.
I'd like to do the same thing as I see in a SmatBackup program
(http://www.jam-software.com/smartbackup/sbackup.zip).
Please zip for example two the same files (C:\test.txt , D:\test.txt) and
then open this zip file in a demo program included in DelphiZip Package or
in for example Total Commander. You will see what I mean.
Thanks all for their help,
Piotr Murawski
