Hi  ,

I am using XZip & XUnZip libraries available at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/xzipunzip.aspx  in my program. Now I am trying to port this program in MAC Platform. As I can see the above mentioned programs are highly windows specific. Can you suggest what libraries should we use for Mac OS 10.4 and later.

We want cross platform compatibility so that archive created through our windows application can be uncompressed successfully in our Mac Platform. Also we don't want to change compression algorithm else it will have issues with our earlier release.

Please suggest the available port for these libraries in MAC. Is there XCode project available for these libaries ?

   Info-ZIP Zip and UnZip generally work as simple UNIX-like
applications on Mac OS X.  However, I don't know if anyone has tried to
create shared libraries for any system other than Windows.  I know of no
Xcode projects, only "make -f unix/Makefile generic".

   I still know nothing, but there does seem to be some stuff in the
UnZip "unix/Makefile".  Look for "shlib".  I see nothing comparable in
the Zip stuff.

Added a note to TODO to look at the state of a Unix lib for Zip.  Assume anything that runs there might also be applicable under Mac OS 10.  No promises when this might happen, unless someone out there wants to start things moving with some suggestions.  Quite a lot of other things on the priority list currently.
