We have already done this in tiOPF. We can compress a string, file or
stream using gzip. Um, that's using a single item for compression, so
might not be what you want.  Anyway, I have also stripped the code to
have no tiOPF dependencies.  If you are interested, I will try and
find the code for you.

Alternatively, have a look at the TZipFile component I mentioned
before.  It does what you want - I think. Plus it has functions to
list, view and save files and directories inside a zip file. It's like
working with a normal directory structure. Darius did a brilliant job
of it.
