PowerTCP Zip Compression for ActiveX and PowerTCP ZipLite Compression for ActiveX were designed specifically for two very different development applications. PowerTCP Zip Compression for ActiveX, featuring fine-tuned flexibility and memory buffer control, was designed for the project that requires a great deal of control and power. PowerTCP ZipLite Compression for ActiveX, featuring a simpler interface and a lower price, was designed to allow you to add simple zip functionality to your application.
