Hi All,

I hate asking this one, but I'm neck deep in a Memorial Day deadline...

I compressed an image (generic term... not a picture) using Gzip as
follows below.  The archive is created, and image size is showming
compression (1.5 MB -> 450 KB). When I attempt to view in WinZip, I
receive the message, "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a
valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file
again."

My question[s] is/are:
1) Does WinZip not handle a GZip properly?
2) If [1], what is a recommended external viewer to validate the
results of the operation on a Win32 platform
3) Am I doing something wrong (most likely)

Jeff


    try {
        CryptoPP::Gzip zipper(
            // Compression Speed: 1 = fast, 9 = slow
            new CryptoPP::FileSink ( filename.c_str(), 9 )
        );
        zipper.Put( (byte*)pCodeStart, dwCodeSize );
        zipper.MessageEnd( );
    }

    catch( CryptoPP::Exception& e )
    {
        std::cerr << e.what() << std:: endl;
    }

    catch( ... )
    {
        std::tcerr << _T("Caught Unknown Exception") << std:: endl;
    }
