 Posted: Thu May 01, 2008 4:51 pm Post subject: Compressed Folder |
  |
|
| In Windows, you know how you can send files to a Compressed (Zipped) Folder? I know that it compresses the file(s), so it takes up less space, but, how, exactly, does it do that? Does it just magically sqeeze everything tighter? |

The actual libraries used to do the compression in all versions of the tool (98-Vista) are dzip.dll and dunzip.dll. These aren't M$ libraries by any means, but licensed from dynamiczip. Creating a new zip folder is done differently since 2000. In 9x they used a template, but since 2000 they've just written the binary in the registry. Both methods work regardless the OS.
Oh, incidentally, it can also work on 95 ;*)
In addition to the zip tool, there's also a decompress-only LZH tool. LZH is a compression type similiar to zip and vastly more popular overseas. It also found a home on the Amiga. I translated the thing to english a while back for 2000/XP users, just because its something I found myself using. As of yet there's two dependencies keeping it from running on 9x+kernelEX.
