Does VS2005 have any built in compression functions like WinZip? I found
ZipForge.NET 1.00 on the net but are there other products that don't cost
anything?

Thanks
Al

I haven't used it personnally, but this is what I know about the GZipStream
and DeflateStream. They both use the same algorithm for compression, but
GZipStream allows for headers for use with the gzip utility. If this is what
you cansider a valid zip file, then yes. Winzip is probably compatible, so
it should work. For the rest you'll need to test it out.

Thanks for the link Markus. Is there a big deal to compile under the .net
2.0 framework? I noticed the directions stated you needed 1.1.

Thanks
