I'm in the middle of rewriting it to be more more flexible. So it will soon be something that anyone can use, not just the guy who wrote it ;-)

I'm looking to possibly make it compatible with innosetup .iss files on a VERY basic level, so that it can be built on later to be more in-depth.

I've developed an object system for the files that will be packaged that includes a header and file management system. The same unit can be used for both the packer and the extractor, and it will conditionally drop out all the code that isn't needed in the extractor. I'm considering NOT having built-in gzip support, but instead using exepak to compress the entire installer image once created. That should help reduce the footprint even more without requiring a working gunzip on the end-user's computer.

I've been working on a TZlibArchiveReader and TZlibArchiveWriter recently that uses paszlib so there are no external requirements. If you'd like to use it I'd be happy to email it to you.
