Tools & resources

TZipBuilder is the CPP translation of the Delphi component TZipMaster. For info about TZipMaster and downloads see http://www.delphizip.org
The TZipBuilder component allows a program to archive the contents of files in a condensed form, and to restore this content in the original form without loss of data. The component also has to capability of creating "self-extracting" archives.
The nucleus of the component is a DLL.
The latest version of the dll can be found at dll.delphizip.org

New version 1.79

New build 1.79.10.26

New build for :

• Problem with type of HInstance in newer compilers solved.
• Cures the problem that extract was ignoring the CodePage setting.

New in version 1.79:

• The two dll's are now joined into one single dll.
• There are now different options for working with the dll:
  1. Put it in a resource file using the new tool.
  2. Put the dll in a folder and point to this folder in he component property DllDirectory.
  3. Put the dll in the system folder or in the same folder as the application.
• Error and info messages can be put in the resource file in multiple languages.
• SFX stubs in multiple languages can be put in the resource file.
• Rename, Delete, AddFreshen and AddUpdate are allowed for multi-volume archives.
• The internal SFX code is a copy of TZipBuilderSFX

All language resources are put together in one archive for download LangRes, some message will be missing in most of the languages, because we don't have correct translations.
See the included document "ResNote.txt" for more info.

We have some tools in support of TZipBuilder.

• The ZipResMaker17923 for creation of the resource containing dll, languages and sfx.
• To set or change the compiler directives before starting the builds and IDE installation use ZBConfig17910
• The RcUpd tool to update the .rc files is made by Xavier Mor-Mur.
  You can download the RcUpd program from Xavier Mor-Mur's website or directly the sources for BCB or BCB5 version of the program.
