"SfR Fresh" - the SfR Freeware/Shareware Archive

Member "vb/readmeVB.txt" of archive zip232dN.zip:

As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field. 
    1 On Windows open this file in WordPad or use unzip -a to restore line ends.

    5 This directory contains a Visual Basic project example for
    6 using the zip32.dll library.  This project updates the Zip 2.3 VB
    7 project example and includes some bug fixes and many additional notes
    8 but is still compatible with zip32.dll.  See the comments in the form
    9 and project files for details.  It has been tested on VB 5 and VB6.
   10 
   11 Zip 2.31 and later have bug fixes as well, including some related to the
   12 dll, and you should now use a version of zip32.dll from that.  This
   13 dll includes a fix for the VB dll bug where Date, szRootDir, and
   14 szTempDir were not passed in correctly and setting these to anything
   15 but NULL could impact the dll and maybe crash it.  You can tell which
   16 version you have by right clicking on zip32.dll in a file listing,
   17 looking at properties, selecting the Version tab, and verifying the
   18 Product Version is at least 2.31.
   19 
   20 A new dll is available as part of the new Zip 3.0 beta.  A new
   21 VB project included with that release now supports Zip64 and large
   22 files and it fixes even more bugs but is not backward compatible
   23 with zip32.dll.  You will need the new dll zip32z64.dll to use that
   24 VB project, which can be compiled from the Zip 3.0 source.  See
   25 windll/VBz64 in that release for details.
   26 
   27 Note that the files may be saved in unix format with carriage returns
   28 stripped.  These must be restored before the project can be successfully
   29 used.  This can be done by using the -a option to unzip.  Another way to
   30 do this is to open each file in WordPad, select and cut a line, paste
   31 the line back, and save the file.  This will force WordPad to format
   32 the entire file.
