rtl with 7zip = 762KB fc with 7zip = 117KB I don't have the LCL help local. Like I said, I have not seen anything beat 7-zip yet. ;-) I also double checked. With a "solid archive", one stream of all files, it is still possible to read a specific file from the archive without decompressing the whole bunch. I used Total Command 6.55 with the 7-zip plugin v0.4.6. Total Commander and the 7-zip plugin is written in Object Pascal (delphi). No dependencies on external libraries. I ran Total Commander under Linux by the way. 7-zip plugin settings: Compression level: Ultra Compression method: LZMA Dictionary size: 32Mb Word size: 64 Solid Archive (one stream for all files): check Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
