1On Windows open this file in WordPad. 2 3Contents of the "windll/vb" sub-archive 4 5This directory contains a Visual Basic project example for 6using the zip32.dll library. This project updates the Zip 2.3 VB 7project example and includes some bug fixes and many additional notes 8but is still compatible with zip32.dll. See the comments in the form 9and project files for details. It has been tested on VB 5 and VB 6. 10 11Zip 2.31 itself had bug fixes as well, including some related to the 12dll, and you should now use a version of zip32.dll from that or later. 13This dll includes a fix for the VB dll bug where Date, szRootDir, and 14szTempDir were not passed in correctly and setting these to anything 15but NULL could impact the dll and maybe crash it. You can tell which 16version you have by right clicking on zip32.dll in a file listing, 17looking at properties, selecting the Version tab, and verifying the 18Product Version is at least 2.31. 19 20A new dll is available as part of this Zip 3.0 release and a 21new VB project is included in the VBz64 directory. This dll and 22project supports Zip64 and large files but is not backward compatible 23with Zip32.dll. You will need the new zip32z64.dll to use this project, 24which can be compiled from Zip 3.0. See windll/VBz64 for details. 25 26Note that the files may saved in unix format with carriage returns 27stripped. These must be restored before the project can be successfully 28used. This can be done by using the -a option to unzip. Another way to 29do this is to open each file in WordPad, select and cut a line, paste 30the line back, and save the file. This will force WordPad to format 31the entire file. 32 33Ed Gordon 342/2/2007 35
