RE: ZipBrowser

Eric,

The company I work for is just about to release a Zip framework for Obj C,
it's called "IPWorks! Zip".  It is still in pre-release (full release is
scheduled for 2 weeks), but I can send you (or any other members of the
list) a pre-release if you like.  You can find all the details about it
here:  http://www.nsoftware.com/ipworks/zip/technologies.aspx?m&sku=izc8-u.
