JFTR, I started such a component a year ago in my local copy of Gambas as it seems. My main source file contains the remark that libarchive [1] may /not/ be a good library because it is stream-oriented, but I can't recall if there were really any major drawbacks (in the incompatibility between the library's stream-like interface and the Gambas object-based interface). Maybe I will try again sometime.
