... ZLib = ZipLib = standard, free, open-source library existing on all
platforms from Win32, DOS, every form of Linux, many Un*xes, BSD, Palm,
Windows Mobile (CE or whatever they call themselves these days), and more.
It is the only (to my knowledge) compression library on PalmOS and/or the
only one with ARM enhancement.

Yes, ZLib is the way to go.  If the file is a PDB (Palm Database) then
compressing the individual records may yield better results.  Not in terms
of compression ratio, but ease of access.  That way there is no mucking
about with FTPing, etc.

Subject: Compression

Hi All, I want to compress a file on the desktop (possibly in zip format),
and download it on palm (through ftp or similar). Then on palm side I want
to decompress it... Is there a library for palm-side decompressing (possibly
open-source / free)? I have seen zlib library, is this reliable and allow to
decompress zip format?
