Thanks, for all the advice guys. Going by your advice, it seems that
using the minizip extension to zlib is the best option.
In particular, to help me start to get a grip on how to use the damn
thing, I found this very basic framework on CocoaDev. My intention
is to hopefully write my own framework for handling archives based on
this eventually.

Also, for others searching the list archives, there is an FFArchive
framework available which has support for unzipping only of zip and
rar archives.

I am wanting to implement in my app the ability to create
standard .zip archives. I have looked through the list archives
and read various things on the internet, but I'm rather confused :(
Thus far my research has uncovered to me:
zlib - pre-installed with OS X. Does not support .zip archives,
but there is add-on code to do it.
gzip - Also doesn't support .zip archives
info-zip - As far as I can tell, this is an open source command
line tool, rather than a library I can use.
So, what would people recommend for Cocoa use? Should I use NSTask
to have a command line tool handle the thing for me? Or should I
use a library like zlib? Or is there something better that I've
missed altogether!?
