If anyone wants to really embed (ie, integrate with an executable installer),
Pkware also offers a library form of the zip tools now. I was unaware of this
until about a week ago.

This apparently allows your tools to access and modify zip files without having
to exec or spawn to external executables.

No connection with Pkware except as a satisfied user.
