RSP Zip Compressor OCX 1.3.0

ActiveX OCX to compress , uncompress , delete , test and list zip files

What is new in the version 1.3.0 (09/Feb/2004 15:41) Added CPU detection code ,
added cpu priority selection code , enhanced the compression and decompression engine ,
the version 1.3.0 can compress files 10 to 15 percent faster than version 1.0.0 , fixed some
xml parser error codes that may return wrong information , added more error verifications ,
fixed minor bugs

Features

It can handle zip files with or without passwords , created with pkware or
Info-zip based compressors

The compressor and decompressor is based on Info-zip

Due to some known Info-Zip limitations the control has several workarounds to
avoid problems , and a page with the list of workarounds or known Info-Zip bugs 
is available also at:
http://rspsoftware.clic3.net/rspinfozipbugs.htm

The code receive information about the zip file , destination directory ,
password , arguments and options regarding compression or decompression using an
xml like parser that can accept several commands

The list of commands and description is available in the RSP Zip Compressor homepage at
http://rspsoftware.clic3.net/rspzip.htm

With the parser it is more easy to detect errors in the information passed to
the compressor or decompressor and the commands are intuitive

It will avoid ambiguities on the compression or decompression code , since the
parser will evaluate each command and return an error code if the command isnot
accepted

And it will inform about missing commands or modifications required in the
commands in order to work

With the parser it will be more easy to compress or decompress zip files
since you only need to know about the commands and all the commands are
intuitive making it a good solution to use zip compression in any application
using only a few lines of code , and with full zip compression error handling

For each error , a description of the error will return , with the description
it is very easy to understand what goes wrong , and how to avoid the same error
in the future

The goal of this software is to provide as a development tool a control to both OCX and .Net
framework development capable of generating a full zip utility running very fast in
order to make it possible to anyone interested in zip compression to use it
without possible bugs .
