Is there a library that can be used to compress/decompress files within the
..NET framework (2.0)

If not what then is available

Thank you,
Samuel

Within the .NET framework you have a couple of options:
- System.Compression.GZipStream
- java.util.Zip (in the Visual J# library)

Outside that I can personally vouch for SharpZip lib that can read and
write a number of formats including Zip and tar
