Contents of the "windll" sub-archive for Zip 2.2 and later:
contents this file
windll16.def definition file for 16-bit Zip DLL
windll32.def definition file for 32-bit Zip DLL
windll.c Contains the entry point for the DLL, "fake" printing,
and password functions.
windll.h header file for both 16 and 32-bit DLLs.
zipver.h versioning information for resource file, and also
used by WiZ application itself.
windll.rc resource file for both 16 and 32-bit DLLs
windll.txt simplistic explanation of how to use DLL.
structs.h header file used by both the dll and by WiZ which defines
several structures passed to the dll.
example.c a very simplistic example of how to load the dll, and make
a call into it.
example.h header file for example.c
borland\dll
contains 16 and 32 bit make files for the zip dlls.
borland\lib contains 32 bit make files for the zip32 static library
visualc\dll contains Visual C++ 5.0 project and make files for
zip32 dll.
visualc\lib contains Visual C++ 5.0 project and make files for
zip32 static library.
The Microsoft C port has not been tested as completely as the Borland port.
Note that Borland C++ 5.0 is full of bugs version 4.5 is recommended instead.
If you must use Borland C++ 5.0, using the Intel optimizing compiler is
required to avoid crashes (possibly due to a bug in the stat() function
in the normal Borland compiler.) This does have the advantage of giving you
a smaller code size than the 4.52 compiler.
Borland C++ 5.01 has resolved many of the problems seen with 5.0, and
can now reliably be used.
Note that I have been singularly unsuccessful in getting this to compile
and run under MSVC 1.52c.
