raymond,

: [...] I had a case where files and folders

: tried to zip and remove a folder that IIS had
: a 'lock' on. This lock is a known 'feature'

: careful.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

most of my use of cfx_zip has been for the purpose of creating a grouping of
documents that can be used offline.  that grouping of document usually
consists of an html file that's created on the fly and a bunch of image
files.  this group of files is placed into a directory that's created on the
fly and then the directory contents are zipped.  all of these operations
happen within a few lines of code of each other.  in all the testing i did
in building this app and all the use it's gotten from the client, never once
has something like you described ever happen.  am i lucky?  i don't know.
were you unlucky?  again, i don't know.  all i'm trying to say is that
cfx_zip is a tag i use and am very happy with.  i'm just trying to bring
balance to the claims for/against it.

thanks,
