Hi folks!
Unzip comes to GPC! This is to announce the release of Chief's Unzip v1.10. This is a freeware package with sources for unzipping ZIP archives. The package supports GPC (January '99 beta: tested under Linux, mingw32, and djgpp); BP 7.0 (Dos, Dpmi, Win16); Delphi (Win16 and Win32), Virtual Pascal (OS/2 and Win32), and FreePascal (Dos, Linux).
This package is a Pascal port of the InfoZip C sources. Example programs are included. Thanks to Frank for identifying some non-portable things in the previous releases and to Peter for supplying a "portable continuation".
This is the URL to the package; http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/African_Chief/chfzip11.zip
PS: I would like to keep a list of the various GPC platforms on which the package has been used successfully, so if you are able to compile and use it successfully under anything other than Linux, mingw32 and djgpp, please drop me a line. If you have had to amend anything to make it compile/work correctly, please send me the diffs so that I can find ways of merging the changes into the main distribution.

FWIW, it works fine for me with OS/2. Although I found the instructions a little confusing as far as whether or not I needed to create a .dll (I didn't, as it just compiled all of unzip.pas into each executeable) -- but it worked fine in the end. Pretty impressive.
Does gpc support creating dlls from a pascal 'Library'? Or whatever a file like chiefzip.pas is called.

My fault for not making that clear enough. The DLL is optional, and only one of the example programs (test1.pas) makes use of it.
Pretty impressive.

It must be possible under EMX and Win32 - but I wouldn't have a clue as to how to do it.
