ZIP Compression Using Pure Visual Basic

[Merri]

Yup, compiled. You just put it in a byte array or similar and then edit memory so that a certain procedure points to the start of the array instead of the actual procedure... I haven't done it myself so I'm not too familiar with the details. I might be a bit wrong, don't really know.


jian2587: still to make it more clear: you can't make archive program of comparable speed using pure VB6 code only. You can't do that in C/C++ either, so it isn't really an issue. You can make a archive program of comparable speed if you use ASM optimized code to help you. But then we can start wondering why to make an archive program if there are great programs out there already? So... it would be more like a feature addition to a special program and there it is all the same if one will use ASM or VB6 to do it, if VB6 code is fast enough.

Wonder how long it'll take until we're fully offtopic!


Edit One last thing: having arguments is never pointless
