Archive file support
Author
I would like to have a simple archive file system in my engine. Preferably it should use zip or rar format. What I want is compression and crc. Also I want to use standard tools to make an archive, like WinRAR. Casual Googling didn't reveal any good candidates. Also I would like to sell my game, so a liberal licence is a must.

I recommend PhysicsFS - http://icculus.org/physfs/
It supports zip, 7z and some other very old archive formats.
It works on Windows, GNU/Linux, MacOSX, and some other OS'es.
And it is licensed under zlib license.

7 zip standalone? (can among others read/write .zip, .rar and of course .7z)
LZMA SDK 4.49
There's C/C++/C# and Java interfaces included with the SDK.
If you want a practical example of it in use, take a look at the Spring Project
Spring Project Source 0.75b2 (can also be snatched from SVN).
The Spring Project source also includes a Virtual File System (and so does Ogre 3D btw).
