The ZZip Utilities Plugin is a REALbasic plugin that offers fast and easy accessibility to data stored within zipped files.
One of the best features of ZZip Utilities is its compatibility with multiple operating systems. It can be used with Mac OS Classic/Carbon, Mac OS X PowerPC, Mac OS X Intel, and Windows targets. This flexibility makes it a great option for developers who are working with different platforms.
The latest release of ZZip Utilities includes several notable updates. For Mac OS X, i386 support has been added for Intel/Universal Binary targets. The zziplib has been updated to version 0.13.47 for all platforms. Additionally, the tool no longer uses file manager routines that were marked deprecated in Mac OS X 10.4.
Other updates include the use of the Extends syntax for folderitem extensions, rather than the older REALRegisterClassExtension API. The ZZipArchive class has also been improved, with a more robust initializer that should prevent random errors and crashes if the class is improperly used. Finally, Mach-O segments have been significantly reduced in size for Mac OS X.
Overall, ZZip Utilities is an excellent tool for developers who need to work with zip archives. Its compatibility with multiple operating systems and ease of use make it a great choice for bundling data files in applications or games. The recent updates and improvements only add to its value as a reliable tool for developers.
