UNZIP32.DLL and UNZIP64.DLL still part of my default ZTreee installation as long as it is supported. You never know when you'll need it.

I don't use internal ZTree's archive as much as I would. I prefer to open/recompress natively. This said, both method are available which is fine with me.

There are custom versions of ARCHIVER.BB2 being shared within the community. Here's mine.

This said, an newer *official* release of ZTree is long overdue.


Unfortunately, I don't have any comment on 4) which is beyond my reach.
