RE: ZIPPING with coldfusion = ARJ!
Umm..hello.. ACE was not, and is not shortlived. It is a very good compression standard that is still widely used in various... umm..circles on the internet. THey are up to WinACE 2.0 now which provides even better protection, and the client is quite pretty too! ^_^ It handles ZIP,RAR,And a host of others..integrates very well with Explorer. You can even select several .zip files and extract them all at once to a directory if you so desire. There is also a command line utility that can be used like PKZIP.exe www.winace.com -Gel -Original Message- From: Raymond B. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] ARJ/JAR fell into disuse years ago (as LHARC did before it), RAR superseded it in that vein of compression utils. Either way though, handing a LHZ, ARJ, RAR, etc. (or the shortlived ACE) to your average windows user is like handing a gzipped tarball to a Mac user.. if they even did know how to use it they probably wouldn't bother to install the utility to decompress it. The problem here is that most consumers will not know what to with an ARJ file. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: ZIPPING with coldfusion = ARJ!
(*scritches head*) Isn't that something like saying, "We're just going to use this time capsule embedded in the left rear quarterpannel of a tank, then we just drive the tank to mars." (Okay, it's early, forgive the bad analogy). The beautiful thing about compression is the concept behind it. I just recently ran into a situation where a client wanted a site, and for some reason our sales guy decided that we needed to burn the code and a backup of a SQL Server database to CD. He wanted something "pretty" to put in their hands. Never mind that the whole thing took a touch over 2 mb! I personally wanted to put the thing in a self-extracting archive of some kind and get it out the door! The important thing is that both yourself and the intended recipient know what to do with the archive. If it's going from you to another tech that you know already has some form of ARJ archiving utility then you've already found your answer and we're rehashing a *very* old discussion thread. Enjoy!

Also, why hasn't anyone brought up ARC's? -Original Message- From: Michael Lugassy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 6:09 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: ZIPPING with coldfusion = ARJ! ofcourse if the usage were to make compressed file FOR USERS I wouldn't have used it. but the situation is diffrent - we're using it just to move 1s of small files from our production server to Israel for calcualation.

Re: ZIPPING with coldfusion = ARJ!
Forget about ZIP. ARJ IS MUCH BETTER! I just did some testing, arj32 (www.arjsoftware.com) is the best solution (using CFEXCUTE) you can arj unlimited number of files (compare with WINZIP's limit of 65535) + more intresting switches and options.

Thank you all for answering. pkzip w/ cfexcute seemed to be the BEST solution. - Original Message - From: "Michael Lugassy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 6:42 PM Subject: ZIPPING with coldfusion > Could someone point to a good program/object I can use > to easily zip a couple of 100s .txt files using CFEXCUTE > or CFOBJECT? > > (Not in Developer's Exchange..) > > Thanks, > > Michael Lugassy > Interactive Music Ltd. > ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: ZIPPING with coldfusion
There's CFX_Zip, if you want "native" tool. Otherwise, most of the popular ZIP compression tools support command-line execution. WinZip, for example, has a CLI add-on at their download site.

RE: ZIPPING with coldfusion
This may not be what your looking for, but there is actually a ZIP object exposed by CFStudio, easily scriptable with js or vbs. You can find docs on it in the "scripting the visual tools object model" help file. If you're just looking to do some admin tasks, it might be a good choice. License doesn't cover use outside of studio though. -Original Message- From: Michael Lugassy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 11:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: ZIPPING with coldfusion Could someone point to a good program/object I can use to easily zip a couple of 100s .txt files using CFEXCUTE or CFOBJECT?

Re: ZIPPING with coldfusion
PKZip command line would work well with CFExecute www.pkware.com I have done it before in perl so I am sure it can be done with CFExecute.
