Hi all, I need a zip library (or a function) that can zip\unzip a few files, i tried zlib or gzip I can't find a solution to archive more than one file in a single .zip (or .tar, or .gzip).

Does anyone have ideas?
Thank you very much

To archive multiple files with zlib you need to pack all of them with tar archive first. Tar won't compress the files it just packs multiple files into one. After packing multiple files using tar, apply zip compression on tar archive file.

Can you answer, where to get Tar functionality? Is is needed? -- the question is about doing all programmatically...
Thank you.

There is a tar library to do this. http://www.destructor.de/libtar/index.htm
