greetings all:
i'm working on a project that requires that i work with tar'd, gzip'd,
and bzip'd files. what i really need to do is have full control over
the archives in memory (single entry extract, full extract, file info
extract, etc.) rather than going to disk first.
i was curious if anyone has already written objc wrappers for zlib,
tar, bzip, etc. (without just using NSTask, if possible)
I'm not sure it's at all appropriate, but there is some zlib support
built in as a GNUstep extension to NSFileHandle
in the base library ... enough to read/qrite zipped files directly doing
decompression/compresion on the fly.
