[Lazarus] Zipfiles using Paszlib...

[Reenen Laurie]

Thank you all for all the great responses!  I greatly appreciate it, and I'm
glad to see that there is several options I can try.

I am/was using a program called TZipFile.  I don't know if it's the same
thing.  I found it on the wiki.

For me creating a /new/ zip file failed on files that were bigger than
64kb.  I was so far unable to determine the exact cause of this, but it has
caused me to start looking for alternatives.

I've downloaded now the File System that Joshy Fun sent, and it's quite
imposing, but looks like it has potential...

I'll also have a look at some of the other suggestions mentioned.  (libtar,
TZipper, etc).

Thanks!

Regards,
-Reenen
