[Openmcl-devel] Anyone have success with any .zip libraries and CCL

[Elliott Slaughter]

Is it important to create .zip files, as opposed to, for example, .tar.gz
files?

You could try Archive with Salza2. Archive can create tar files, and Salza2
can gzip them for you. Both are available via quicklisp:

(ql:quickload :archive)
(ql:quickload :salza2)
