What .ZIP libraries are people using for Xbase++ 2.0 these days?

I still use XbZLib.

PowerUtl library have all ZIP archive functions, and much more.

We still use AddZip, still works.

Still xbzlib without any problems.

Client side with Shell.Application object ; uses Windows OS integrated zip routines ; UTF file naming and UNC support is solid; good UI feedback for end user .

On server side zip from info-zip OSS project.

I was wrong. We changed to the zip capabilities of Chilkat, which is an unbelievable excellent tool anyway. https://www.chilkatsoft.com/refdoc/xChilkatZipRef.html

I like that idea. I use Chilkat for lots of other stuff.
Thanks, everyone, for so many responses.

I like that idea.

Chilkat supports asynchronus zipping, heavy encryption and other good stuff, and it's very fast.

hi Roger,

since Windows XP it include using ZIp Files which use Copyhere API.

Summary: Invoke the shell as a COM object to zip a file

as Windows can´t create Crypt -ZIP Files or use Password for ZIP Files same is when using COM Object.
