Just for matters of completeness, there is also my freeware xtra
"zLibXtra":
http://dasdeck.de/staff/valentin/xtras/zlib/zlib_v07.zip

it has some additional functions like opening and creation of password
protected zips, retrieve a file list from a zip without unpacking,
gzcompress, gzuncompress, untargz as well as some checksum-utilities
(crc32_file, adler32_file, md5_file, md5_string)

That way you will still create zips with absolute paths. To create zips
with truely relative paths, my zlibXtra also has a setcurrentdir()
function. you can use it to set the current system path, and then use
relative paths only when creating a zip file (see demo.dir). The
resulting zip file will only have relative paths and behave much bether
when beeing unpacked, e.g. with winzip.
