Zip/Arj lister source code
Back in 1991/1992 there was source code available to list directories of Zip/Arj/Arc/Lzh/Pak/Zoo files. This was code in QBasic (no C or Asm) that opened file and looked for header signature of respective compressed files. I think this code was available with QbNews. Does anyone know where I can...
