Any ZIP or RAR ( preferred ) DLL Interfaces?
Something that after I load a compressed file,
I can extract the file to a MEMBLOCK?

And of course reverse it...
Compress a MEMBLOCK to a file...

Certainly would be very handy, eh?

I don't think you can get a rar lib at all, it might be an idea to look into lzw and some of the free compression libs out there

@Darkbasic MAD
Sorry if I seem dense, AlphaZip as I found it via GOOGLE,
is an application, it doesn't appear to be a DLL I can incorperate
into my application.

Please dont think me rude, it seems like a very solid piece of
software, but it doesn't ( or at least what I found ) apply to
the original query.

If you have details on how it apllies, I am very very interested.

Note that there is no RAR interface for compressing files (only for decompressing). There is a commerical ZIP interface availiable for $200 or so which allows compression and decompression.

AtomZ - its got an A. Its got a Z. Now its just needs U
