PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET

What’s new in PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET V2.1.0?

• The self-extraction feature has been enhanced in a number of ways. First, it is now possible to direct the self-extraction to occur as soon as the file is opened (without need of user input). Second, a "silent" mode can be used, in which the extraction occurs automatically and no UI is presented to the user. Finally, it is now possible to specify a file to open immediately after extraction.
• Zip Compression for .NET now supports .NET Framework 4 Client Profile.

What’s new in PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET V2.0x? - PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET has been updated with new features and enhanced performance. The new stream interface compresses, inflates, encrypts and decrypts "on-the-fly" with no buffering to disk. A new zip engine provides speed increases of up to 20 percent, as well as significant gains in compression ratio. Additionally, 64-bit Operating Systems are now fully supported, and several maintenance issues have been addressed.

Developers using Microsoft ASP.NET will benefit from the extensive Stream support in PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET. All compression and decompression operations include support for objects that implement a Stream interface. This capability allows web developers to seamlessly compress data and return it to a requesting client without writing temporary files and enabling write-access on the server. Stream support is also great for seamless compatibility with other products that output or input Streams.

Other great features include QuickZip and QuickUnzip shortcut features that allow for zip operations with only one line of code, wildcard support for batch operations, multi-threaded asynchronous capability for "behind-the-scenes" operation, the ability to span across multiple disk or create split files, fully configurable self-extraction executables, and support for reading the gZip file format.
