<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I am looking for a good .zip library that can zip up directories. I tried zip <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/zip/" target="_blank">http://common-lisp.net/project/zip/</a> which is mentioned the CCL documentation, but as is listed in the following thread from their mailing-list, when you try and zip a directory using this library in CCL, it just creates an empty zipped directory:<br>
<br>

<br>
I also tried gzip-stream:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/gzip-stream/" target="_blank">http://common-lisp.net/project/gzip-stream/</a><br>
<br>
This library works great for zipping files but seems to have no support for zipping directories. Has anyone found any .zip libraries that work with CCL and are capable of zipping directories?<br>
<br>
Thanks you much,<br>
<br>
