Does anyone know of any cheap (or free) pocketpc file compression utilities
which can be redistributed with an application. For our desktop apps, we use
the compress.exe which comes with Windows. Is there something similar for
Windows CE?

Thanks...

Dan

I'm a bit surprised no one answered. Compression is on my long-range
list of things to do, but I don't have enough real experience to be
very helpful. I suggest starting with Info ZIP:
http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/

Also, I just used google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
compression
in this newsgroup and got 77 hits. I took a quick look at a couple and
think you'll find useful info.

There is a version of WinRAR for PPC called PocketRAR. The official site
seems to be down right now (www.rarlab.com) but here's a site that is
hosting it: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/pocketrar.html.
