DIZipWriter writes ZIP files via Delphi's TStream interface.

For Delphi 6 and older, this limits TStream sizes to signed 32-bit or
2147483647 bytes.

Delphi 7 and later remove this limit and handle TStreams up to signed
64-bit or 2^63-1 bytes.

DIZipWriter itself imposes the limitations of the 32 bit ZIP file
format. For Delphi 7 and later this implies a maximum ZIP file size of
unsigned 32 bit or 4294967295 bytes, which is 4 GiB or a little more
than 4 GB.

No, I have never looked at that component.
