If you are using Windows, I think the company that makes WinZip has some .DLL's you can download to do this sort of stuff.

Hi,

I want to save a few files (on directory of it) in a zip file and extract it afterwards.
What I need is a:
ZipToFolder
and a
FolderToZip
function. Can anyone please help me?

You can find a freeware zip library at http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip. I think WinZip uses infozip, but am not sure. The Infozip library is really hard to use however, I recommend using ZLib, which is at http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib. ZLib is much easier to work with. My game w/ source uses it.
