SAWZip - zip file manipulation control

SAWZip
------

SAWZip is a control written with ATL in Visual C++ to read, create and modify 
zipfiles. You can use this control in Visual Basic, Visual C++ and any other
COM-aware programming language.

I wrote SAWZip because I needed a control or library to read jar-files in my 
JCB project. JCB is a small Java Class Browser written with WTL. When I search
the web for such a control or library I didn't find anything that satisfied me.
And when I did find something I had to pay for it. The best I found was the 
Zip library of Tadeusz Dracz. He used the zlib-compression library 
in a MFC project. I used this project as a start for SAWZip.

Installation
------------
Extract all files in a directory and run the following program:

Regsvr32.exe <dir>\SAWZip.dll
<dir> is the directory you used to extract SAWZip.

This control uses the dll-version of the zlib-compression library. 
When you install this control the zlib.dll must be reachable. The zlib.dll is 
provided in the download.

Versions
--------
SAWZip has a normal version for Win95,98,NT and a UNICODE-version for NT.
Note that the UNICODE-version is not tested as much as the normal version.

Thanks to

S.A.W. means Software At Work and it's derived from the 80's band Men At Work.
I'm still a fan of them. Their lead-singer Colin Hay makes great
music. (www.colinhay.com)
I use these initials to make sure that my project has a unique name.
