Abbrevia
Abbrevia is a compression toolkit for Borland
Delphi,
C++ Builder, & Kylix. It supports PKZIP 4, Microsoft CAB, TAR, &
gzip
formats & the creation of self-extracting archives. It includes
visual
components that simplify the manipulation of ZIP files.
How Abbrevia came to be open source:
On January 7, 2003 Turbopower
announced
it was discontinuing its retail business.
Many of Turbopower
Products were release as Open Source Products as a result of this
decision.
They were released under the MPL 1.1 License.
On March 5, 2003 Abbrevia 3.04 was released on Source Forge.
