Just a note on Abbrevia: I've been working on that project some years 
ago, and found it very buggy. During that work I even found an bug in 
the C sources, from which the Abbrevia units are derived. This bug had 
been lurking in the C sources for many years, and was fixed only a few 
days before I reported it to the C developers. Since that time I don't 
like manual ports from C to Pascal, because their maintenance requires 
too much work :-(

Even if compressed files decompress properly with Abbrevia, the files 
may be invalid. When decompression with other tools (7zip...) works, 
then the Lazarus units may be buggy, otherwise Abbrevia itself is the 
trouble maker.
