e-CryptIt Engine - Compression Xojo Plugin

ZStream Class (console safe)

To handle zip compression and decompression on files (.gz format).

Note: This class has been replaced by the ZStreamWriter and the ZStreamReader classes. This class is provided here because there are still some 3rd party kits that use this class. If you are developing a new product and using REALbasic 5.5 or later then it is highly recommended that you use the new and more advanced classes.
