Introduction
Welcome to IPWorks Zip, a suite of easy, fast, and effective components that enable developers to rapidly add compression and decompression functionality to any application. The toolkit supports major compression/decompression and archiving standards, including Zip, Jar, Gzip, 7-Zip, Bzip2, ZCompress, and Tar. The IPWorks Zip components were built from the ground up, combining exceptional speed with an excellent data compression ratio.
lib\net40\nsoftware.IPWorksZip.dll is designed for use in .NET Framework 4.0 and up. This library maintains a familiar API in line with previous versions of the product.
