ZIP Component

Hi

I am currently using SFS from AidAim to archive some database files in my
app but would like to replace it with a ZIP style archiver.

My criteria are:

Must work with BCB6
The file can be uncompressed from a read only medium
Has good compression rate without being overly slow
Can be password protected
Preferably can include a comment so that I can add a bit of info such as
version of db schema, user who created archive (I could just place a file in
there but a comment holder would be great and presumably faster than having
to open and decompress a file just to read the comment)
Provides events so that I can show progress
Can archive files that may already be open in share mode (i.e. doesn't need
exclusive access)
Preferably with ability to have some sort of corruption recovery
Not too expensive (or free would be good)

Hope someone can recommend something

Best regards

Chris F
