I know that Basic does not directly handle these file (it can't decompress them) But what is the best way to handle them otherwise? How do i open these files from code... I've tried calling them from shell and nothing happens.

Hi joel2009,

I don't know how to work with .rar-files but dzt provided a library to handle (create and extract) .zip-files.

On post #5 of DZT's RAR/ZIP dll, one can read:

Zip and Unzip Library for Basic4PPC. Targets .NET 1.1 (desktop) and .NET 1.0 (device) and needs ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll (open source zip library)
Has 4 functions. All of them works for desktop, but 3 of them works for the device.
For CreateZip (desktop only) and ExtractZip (device and desktop) see previous post.

Therefore, 75% of this dll WORKS on device...
