Yes but we still have Delphi 2007.
It only has TCompressionStream but no TZCompressionStream.
Maybe we could just add our own metadata wrapper instead of gzip or a
zlib wrapper.
Well, it does not sound like a clever thing to do.

We have used tpabbrevia but it has a bug with very big files (like 6
GB). Its code is not easy to understand and I would rather not start
searching the bug.

Marco, what was the FPC counterpart for TZCompressionStream in your
Delphi-compatible code? FPC does not have TZCompressionStream either.
