Hi,
today I talked to Carl at Express conference. We talked about
possibility of adding .zip support to Rebol. Few ppl requested the
feature some time ago, and I can personally find it usefull. WinAmp for
e.g. uses .zip files for skins too, it even doesn't unpack them on hd. I
surely don't know Rebol internals, but maybe it could work as a scheme?
e.g.:
write %rebol.exe read zip:///c/rebol/download/core031.zip/rebol.exe
Rebol currently has some kind of compression/decompression available.
Carl agreed to support requested feature, but RT lacks enough manpower
to handle all tasks they need to do. So - is here anyone who knows C
well, and would like to code it for RT? Or at least - are there any
sources available to study, or even complete open source solutions (of
course, with licence allowing RT to add it into Rebol)?
Thanks,
-pekr-
