Built in Windows compression libraries?
Has anybody used the built in compression library for Windows, Lz32.lib, for anything?
I've had a look at it and it seems adequate, but I'm a little wary of the 16 open file limit.
I've also had a quick peak at ZLib, but if the WIN32 version works fine, why bother with another library?
To answer your second question first, ZLib is popular because it runs on lots of platforms, can create standard ZIP-files, comes with source code, and has a strong user community supporting it.
To answer your first question second, no I haven't tried the built-in Windows libraries, mainly because the advantages I mentioned above are so compelling that I never bothered.
