That's pretty cool Greg. Having zip support will be nice. Although I think making a zip/compression algorithm that can say compress a 1GB file to a mere 500-1mb file would be amazing.
This is only using basic DEFLATE compression algorithms so I wouldn't expect huge gains. For really good compression we'd have to look at either LZMA or LZ4.
As I mentioned to Pete, libarchive is a good solution for this that someone should be able to wrap for use with Euphoria.
