Greetings I heard one of my user told me that it doesnt work to archive with that size, too. Is the 4gb limit of zip file limit apply on the zip file size or the uncompressed size? Pkware released some specification of the next zip format (which support > 4gb), will delphi zip support this? Thanks a lot!

(1.600.000.000 Bytes) 2) I used for the test the program DEMO1 for Cbuilder (the Cbuider version used is 5.0 + service pack 1) but the same result I achieved with the freeware program QuickZip (ver 2.15) 3) for this test libraries version (ZIlDLL.dll and UnzipDll.dll) is 1.60. 4) Both the program ( DEMO1 and QuickZip) build the compress file but both, put a message "Invalid Zip file". Question: There are any limitations on file size to compress? Possible Bug? Thanks on advanced for any kind of answer Luigi Robbiati --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
