Hi I want to staticly bind the DLL so I don't have to distribute it to my users. But I cannot see how to get the static binding to work. The help page says: When you want to work with static binding define the STATIC_LOAD_DELZIP_DLL directive. but do I do this in my code, in my Project .. Options or in the Zipconfig.inc file? I've tried all of these, but when I look at the exe with Gexperts "PE Information" is still says that Delzip179.dll is imported. Also the EXE size does not change (I'd expect it to get bigger when the DLL is statically linked?). Thanks for any help Steve ----------- To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty e-mail message to: delphizip-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject.
