Developers using Microsoft ASP.NET will benefit from the extensive Stream support in PowerTCP Zip Compression for .NET. All compression and decompression operations include support for objects that implement a Stream interface. This capability allows web developers to seamlessly compress data and return it to a requesting client without writing temporary files and enabling write-access on the server. Stream support is also great for seamless compatibility with other products that output or input Streams.

Other great features include QuickZip and QuickUnzip shortcut features that allow for zip operations with only one line of code, wildcard support for batch operations, multi-threaded asynchronous capability for "behind-the-scenes" operation, the ability to span across multiple disk or create split files, fully configurable self-extraction executables, and support for reading the gZip file format.
