Christian,
Since the ZipMaster DLLs are not thread-safe, you must use critical
sections. This is irritating but not very tricky.
See the API functions EnterCriticalSection and LeaveCriticalSection.
Basically, all EnterCriticalSection does is lock out all other threads (in
the process) until LeaveCriticalSection is called. Multitasking of other
processes (e.g. Explorer, etc.) will be unaffected.
Hope this helps,
