We have some files that are created by AS400 using tar and compress
commands (AIX version 4.3) like this:

tar -cf download *.*
compress -b12 -f download

These files will be downloaded via ftp to Windows Mobile 2003
handhelds, which will then have to extract these files back to their
original format in order to read the data in the files. I am trying to
write an application that can do the extraction using either VB.NET or
C#. Is there any library (either free or paid) that offers functions to
do tar/untar and compress/uncompress? I tried the IP WORKS! ZIP .NET CF
Components but received "unsupported format" error. Any other similiar
components availabe that you have tried? Thanks so much for your help!!!
 
Thanks for your help!

I tried it but when building the project using MS Visual Studio .net
2003 I received the following error:

Error: The dependency 'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac' in project 'Orders' cannot be copied
to the run directory because it would conflict with dependency
'mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

Then I added mscorlib as a reference. But this time I received an
output message like this:

Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

What could be wrong? Thanks!
