Hello, I was wondering how I would go about combining several files into one, then later re-sperating them. Just like WinRAR. I'll provide more info later, but for now I must depart. Thanks in advance.

Sincerely,
-2cool4cereal2 :)

Have you tried Zipper lib for VB.NET? You can zip files and extract later with some zipping functions from vb.net

Google: vb.net zipper

And you will find many results on howto make one

Download SharpZipLib or read this article

you can also let the user install Resource kit tools and launch a cmd trough your application but i have no experience with this.

Whats even easyer is to use a windows API , heres an example


hope this helps :) :)
