Such class in PHP will be much, much slower than language-level support of archives. If such archives will be supported in PHP itself it will become a standard way to provide software -- I will be able to use other people's archives as well as mine ones.

I don't need source 'packed' with meaning 'crunched for size'. All I want is a comfortable way to distribute pieces of software and I think that using archives could decrease all that headache with directories. I need a library, I download a library as one file and I can use the library immediately -- isn't it attractive? :) -- Best regards, Simeon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
