BOMArchiveHelper is the helper process.
Some contributors to the Zlib project (zlib.org) have written code
which can read and write ZIP archives. You might check that out.

Hello,
I am interested in writing an application which uses zip archives.
I would like to be able to create archives, expand archives and
list an archives contents. I have read through the Cocoa APIs but
did not find any Cocoa APIs to do this.
Of course there are the gzip/gunzip and tar command line utilities
but they are somewhat limited, rely on the filesystem being
'correct' and require one to start a separate process.
The finder can create and expand archives. I watched all of the
running processes in top while I started an archiving job in the
Finder. Its CPU usage rapidly increased to a high level and no
other processes appeared to start so I assume that it is using an
API rather than starting a helper process.
So does anyone know if there are any Apple APIs for handling zip
archives?
Are they public as opposed to internal to Apple?
Whereabouts are they (Cocoa, Carbon, etc)?
Thanks,
Tim Mowlem
