Another thing to keep in mind is I think you are looking for archiving as well as compression, and the two things don't necessarily come in one package. For example, I think zlib only compresses a data stream but doesn't know on its own how to assemble compressed files into an archive.

I discared it because best I know savesets are static.
You can not add files after the fact.
With zip you can.
fwiw,

Re: Is there an (UN)ZIP api?
We chose to run this via a self-submitting batch job rather than using the API through an application.

Re: Is there an (UN)ZIP api?
Have you seen zlib (see http://www.zlib.net/)? We run it here on VMS to create and write compressed files.
Maybe think about separating the creation of the printer output from the data preparation. The main processing would sort out what's to appear on the invoice and write it to a growing indexed file, but another function or image would be responsible for reading that data and formatting it. You'd probably end up storing less data and have the flexibility of probably making changes in one place if the output document had to be modified.

Re: Is there an (UN)ZIP api?
Unless something has changed since then, the new file is not 'tacked on the end', the whole zip file is read and rewritten with the new file inserted.

Zip is somewhat averse to damaging an
existing archive while building its
replacement. Tacking stuff onto the end of
an existing archive could lead to damage, if
something goes wrong while tacking. Other
(riskier) schemes may be possible, but are
not currently on the Zip to-do list.
