ZCompress Component

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings   Errors  

The ZCompress component implements an LZC compressor and decompressor. It is compatible with the UNIX compress utility.

Syntax

nsoftware.IPWorksZip.Zcompress

Remarks

The LZC file format is used only to archive a single file. Accordingly, the operation of the component is simpler than that of the other components.

To compress with the component, set ArchiveFile to the name of the LZC compressed file to be created, and FileDecompressedName to the name of the file to be compressed. Finally, invoke Compress. To extract the file, first set ArchiveFile. FileDecompressedName may then be set; if not, it will automatically be set based on the ArchiveFile name. Finally, invoke the Extract method.

Example (Creating an LZC File)


ZipControl.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.Z"
ZipControl.FileDecompressedName = "c:\test.txt"
ZipControl.Compress()
Example (Extracting from an LZC File)


ZipControl.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.Z"
ZipControl.FileDecompressedName = "c:\test.txt"
ZipControl.Extract()
