Re: zip

Does anybody know of a good zip (or any other "public" algorithm) library
for Delphi or ActiveX that supports:
- unicode file names
- paths longer than 255 chars
The longer version of the story is that I am using SyncBackSE (excellent)
backup
utility (written in Delphi) which in turn uses some 3rd party compression
library.
Now, that library handles unicode names but has problems: it won't allow
full names longer than 255 chars (imagine a document in My Documents
folder - it can pretty soon reach more than those 255 chars) and the 3rd
party don't want to implement longer filenames since it is not zip standard
(as he states).
And I am experiencing this length problem, that's why I am trying to find a
solution.
Well, the SyncBackSE guy says - no problem, if I find proper compression
library he'll use it.

Thanks,
Brad.
