I checked in the D2007 help and it did show the TCompressionstream
class so it does exist in my Delph version.

Next is trying to find a zipper based on that, I guess...
When I google the first hit points to paszlib, so I am in a circle
here. Paszlib wiki doc pages state that paszlib is used for
TCompressionstream...

Well, the system I am working on collects data from a measuring
instrument and saves the binary data (a memory image from the
instrument) onto several types of bin files. Then it also converts the
data to corresponding ASCII text files. Finally it is all stuffed into
a single zipfile for transmission.
SoI need multiple files into one just like WinZip provides. Except
done in my code.
