Want to use your Zipping tool

Hi,

I had asked for a good Zipping tool and I was guided to SynLZ or SynZip by Arnaud Bouchez.
As I want to try it out I am not sure if I can only download the relevant files or do I have to download the entire framework.

Regards
Allan

Re: Want to use your Zipping tool

SynLZ is a stand-alone unit.
It is VERY fast for compression, but it is a proprietary format, not compatible with zip.
Basically, you can compress/uncompress memory buffers.
See https://synopse.info/files/html/api-1.18/SynLZ.html

About SynZip, see https://synopse.info/files/html/api-1.18/SynZip.html
If you want more complete zip process, you may use https://synopse.info/files/html/api-1.1 … Files.html
Those units are not stand-alone.

In short, you could download all the files from https://github.com/synopse/mORMot as one single zip.
Then only the one you need.

Note that since those files are used by not only mORMot SOA/ORM, but also SynPDF, or others, you may end with a conflict of versions in your IDE.
IMHO the best option is to download and put everything in a mORMot folder.
The Delphi linker will only use the needed files.
