Hello, I have written a simple program to compress binary files using the SysZLib library. What I want to be able to do is transfer the compressed files to a PC and then uncompress them.
I am able to compress the files, but when I go to uncompress them with PKZip or Zip Genius I get an error saying the file is not a valid zip archive. This may be a silly question, but once you compress a file on the Palm using the SysZlib library, is it possible to unzip it on the desktop? What program can you use to unzip it? How can you verify that you have compressed a file correctly? Do you need to add anything to the zip file to indicate that it has been zipped? I am basing my compression function on the gzip function from the ZBoxZ application. This function places the following header at the start of the archive: 0x1f0x8b0000003 Do it need this? What about a check sum value, do I need to include one in the archive? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
