From: Andreas Schrafl Date: 2003-07-01T01:45:14+09:00 Subject: Zlib I want to compress a some files in a directory and move them to one file. It is for a database and the compression type is zip. so now what I don't know is how to zip more than one file. what is the seperator of a file in zip? as I can input more a stream of a file (string) it is easy to zip one file but several? I found a way but that is by bypassing the command to the console and execute tar. this is not a nice way and I want to avoid it if possible. if somebody already had this problem and knows an answer or just has a creative idea I would be very pleased to know it. thanks andy
