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. > Also, do you know how DIZipWriter compares to ZipForge when creating new > archives? Especially large archives? No, I have never looked at that component.
