Hi All

Any one tried to use Mr. Craig's vfpCompression. Does it have file size limit ? I mean can it create files bigger thn 2GB ? Any side effects ?

Any help will be appreciatd.

My best
 
AFAIK,
no you can't.
And that is because the Visual C++ libraries used there is 32 bits.
But I can be wrong :)

Thanks B Borissov.

I tried to use it, and looks very easy to use and have all the needed functionality.

Any suggestions please ?












 
Hi NasibKalsi:

I tried using vfpCompression a few years ago and found it didn't always work. I now use SawZip, freeware, daily to backup all my data files after the last person exits for the day.

I use it daily, it is very good - but you do have to take the time to learn its little foilbles.

It will not make a zip in excess of 2GB, because that is the standard for a zip file - you have to use an extended format to make one bigger than that.

Here's my take on using VFPCOMPRESSION.FLL... seems to work very nicely. I haven't tried anything that would get to 2gb yet.
