ActiveX technology
- A single fully self-contained COM object and ActiveX control written with ATL 3.0.
- Requires no external compression DLLs, MFC DLLs or runtime libraries.
- Both single-threaded (STA) and multi-threaded apartment (MTA) model design.
- Instantiate the component dynamically without putting it on a form.
- Supports multiple instances running simultaneously.
- Supports both Unicode and ANSI in one single control. The library automatically uses Unicode API calls for best performance when running on Windows NT, 2000 and XP.
- ActiveX control interface has all constants, enumerations and types built-in. Code completion, property categories, help strings and context-sensitive F1-help fully supported.
- Works with all 32-bit development environments that can use ActiveX controls, including VB, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder, VFP, Office, PB, VO, Web scripting languages, ASP and DCOM projects.
- Also compatible with VB.NET and C#. For developers that require 100% managed code, check out Xceed Zip for .NET, our fully object-oriented Zip, Compression and FileSystem class library.

Compression & Zip file technology
- Now supports WinZip 9.0-compatible AES strong encryption (New in 6.0).
- Fast, low memory usage compression engine. Speed improvements of 25%-75% in certain contexts (New in 5.1).
- 100% compatible with the PKZIP 2.04g format.
- 100% compatible with the PKZIP 4.5 format.
- Supports the Zip64 zip file format allowing the creation of Zip files of practically unlimited size (no 4 GB limit).
- Supports the BZip2 (BWT) compression method for 15 to 20% better compression than Deflate on many popular file types, especially XML data.
- BZip2 compression method is excellent for compressing XML data.
- Supports the Deflate64TM compression method, an industry standard improvement to regular Deflate.
- Zip files can contain any number of files (no 65535 file limit).
- Regular, spanned and self-extracting zip files created by Xceed Zip can be used by any of today's existing unzipping applications, and vice-versa.
- Stores and retrieves the latest zip file format extensions, allowing Unicode filenames and NT file attributes, extra time stamps and security permissions to be stored in the zip file.
- No need to repair corrupted zip files. Xceed Zip automatically tries to recover from errors and reports any inconsistencies found in the zip file while unzipping.

Major operations
- Zip files or memory buffers into new or existing zip files.
- Unzip files to disk or directly to memory.
- Compress and decompress strings or buffers completely in memory.
- All compression and decompression modes support streaming and encryption.
- Create fully customizable self-extracting zip files thanks to the included Xceed Self-Extractor Module.
- Convert any type of zip file (regular, spanned, multi-part, self-extracting or spanned self-extracting) into any other type of zip file.
- Reads and writes zip files that span multiple disks.
- Reads and writes multi-part zip files directly to hard drive.
- Update one zip file from another one's contents or merge two zip files together.
- Optional background processing so your code can continue execution while Xceed Zip is working.
