I found a VWWare image data file of about 3GB and Abbervia fell over when it got up to 2GB into it as we are still on Delphi 4 and its using longint for searching thru a stream and it's cache. Sigh.
I've previously used ZLib for other tasks so I might give it a go. It'd be nice if I could create RAR files. I'm gonna look at ARC also.
