Sorry, dear DelZippers, but I'll ask you again (with my still bad english
again):
Why the hell should do the DLLs all the work?
Zipping "c:\test.txt" and "d:\text.txt" into the same ZIPfile is a very hard
problem to solve!
For the DLLs!
But I still wonder, why this (double-touble) problem has to be solved by the
DLLs?
IMHO it's only a problem of the application, thats going to use the DLLs!
What are ZipFile-Comments good for?
What are ZipFile-FileComments good for?
Maybe the Drive-Letter could be stored in the ZipFile-FileComment? Not by
Default, but optionally?
Again: Why should do the both DLLs all the work instead of the application's
programmer's program?
Please advice, discuss or name me "the other BIG stupid but not canadian NX-Fan
from Germany. With no bushes [hidding] ever at all" ;-) ;-) ;-);-) ;-) ;-) ;-)
;-)
And please *Hold Your Head Up* (very old Songs by "Argent" or "Uriah Heep")....
Best and very friendly (but very unsophisticated!) Regards,
Roland
