I have a C++ project, it supports zip (zlib library is used) file processing. Now I've got a task to add support of unicode file names in zip files. So, is there some zlib fork, that supports unicode or maybe I should use another library?

I think you mean gzip since you reference zlib. I use boost-zlib for this task. – Dan Oct 20 '11 at 16:54

gzip and zlib are compression programs, and do not deal with Unicode: they compress streams of bytes. The .zip format, a different beast entirely, stores directory structures, and thus, filenames and other text data. Similarly, .tar does as well. – Thanatos Oct 21 '11 at 01:16
