I noticed that when I ceated an archive with the VS sample code for using
GZip that WinZip was not able to read it. Is there code available (free) that
will create one that is usable with WinZip?

I don't know if it works with WinZip, but #ZipLib (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/)
has another GZip implementation.

Thanks but I was able to go back to v1.1 and use the J# library version of
Zip. I was also able to get around a reported problem of exceptions with
large files. Everything is cool in zip-land. I am compressing text files. The
compression ratio is a lot better with zip.

Thanks.
