Thanks but I am after some C wrapper functions that abstracts access
to a .zip file. i.e. a high level library for accessing zip files
transparently. AFAIK, zlib/bzip2/gzip libs (shares similar algorithms
with pkware's zip) are directly concerned with compression, not with
opening, extracting, deflating, imploding, etc the collection of files
inside zips transparently as a library. I believe Infozip does a good
job but is far too messy for me to handle. any ideas? thanks in
advance.
