... 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. -----Original Message----- From: Ste [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 3:09 AM To: Palm Developer Forum 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? -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
