大小確實(shí)重要！

　　The Xceed Zip Compression Library 是一個(gè)軟件組件，它為開發(fā)者提供許多有用的，精心設(shè)計(jì)的壓縮和解壓縮文件和數(shù)據(jù)的功能。它最受歡迎的功能是能夠創(chuàng)建，閱讀和寫入 Zip 文件。
　　該庫(kù)支持 PKWare 的最新行業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn) PKZip v4.5 zip 文件格式，以及傳統(tǒng)的 PKZip v2.04g 格式。由于有新的 Deflate64 壓縮算法和消除了 Zip 文件大小和在一個(gè) zip 文件中文件數(shù)目的限制，所以可以為開發(fā)者提供改進(jìn)的 Zip 壓縮。
　　Xceed Zip 還提供先進(jìn)的 BZip2 (BWT) 壓縮算法。在很多文件類型中，包括數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)文件和辦公文檔，比起普通的 Zip Deflate, 它通常能達(dá)到 15-20% 的更好壓縮比。BZip2 也因?yàn)槟軌蜃罾硐氲膲嚎s XML 數(shù)據(jù)而著名。

Size does matter!

　　The Xceed Zip Compression Library is a software component that provides developers with a host of useful, carefully designed functions for compressing and uncompressing files and data. It's most popular functionality is the ability to create, read and write Zip files.
　　The library supports PKWare's latest industry standard PKZip v4.5 zip file format as well as the traditional PKZip v2.04g format, providing developers with improved Zip compression thanks to the new Deflate64 compression method and removing limitations on Zip file size and the number of files in a zip file.
　　Xceed Zip also offers the advanced BZip2 (BWT) compression method which regularly achieves a 15-20% better compression ratio than regular Zip Deflate on many file types including database files and office documents. BZip2 is also famed for optimally compressing XML data.

Features
ActiveX technology

• A single fully self-contained COM object and ActiveX control written with ATL 3.0.

• Both single-threaded (STA) and multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model design.
• Instantiate the component dynamically without putting it on a form.
• Supports multiple instances running simultaneously.
• Supports both Unicode and ANSI in one single control. The library automatically uses Unicode API calls for best performance when running on Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
• ActiveX control interface has all constants, enumerations and types built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help fully supported.
• Works with all 32-bit development environments that can use ActiveX controls, including VB, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder, VFP, Office, PB, VO, Web scripting languages, ASP and DCOM projects.
• Also compatible with VB.NET and C#. For developers that require 100% managed code, check out Xceed Zip for .NET, our fully object-oriented Zip, Compression and FileSystem class library.
