You will need to either buy or build a Zip Extractor component. There are
several available on the net.

"/n software" has a component called "IP*WORKS! ZIP" that will do this.
Haven't used it but heard good things about it.

The second Link Supplied by Bryant is excellent.
I have had very good results with it. It allows you to specify how well you
want your file to be compressed. I recomend it.

Thank you all who replied to the message for your help. I have now
implemented the second link as suggested by Landi. It works very well.

compress is part of the damn SDK
