Note that ByteArray cannot consume a .ZIP file, as it contains a catalog. It only handles the actual compressed bytes.

Both my server and client are Windows. Actually they are the same machine!!! I will try the checksum tomorrow but I checked number of bytes that are both the same. Another test I did was to send the uncompressed file and read into a ByteArray. When I compress the ByteArray on the sever, the result is 13 bytes larger than the compressed file. Compressed files is over 88,000 bytes. I create the compressed file by calling gzopen. I use wb9 for the mode. Should I used another mode?
