I was curious what Pete was doing for zip files in Phix and I found LiteZip. I can offer a few advantages with what I'm planning:

  • Miniz is more liberally licensed (MIT) than LiteZip (LGPL3)
  • Miniz compiles directly into the backend of Euphoria on all platforms
  • Miniz is much smaller (~100KB on the backend and ~50KB to library)
  • Miniz includes zlib routines which will also be included in library (std/zlib.e)
  • Miniz is still actively maintained by its developers (LiteZip is from 2008?)
