Any reason why you don't want to use the one installed with the OS?
I don't know what his reason is, but I can see doing it from a "now I
know what is going to be used" point of view.
I've just finished about a year of thrashing around with this very
issue, jumping from the Zip installed with the OS, to Stuffit, back
to Zip, and, finally (thanks to John Stiles for "showing me the
light" :-) to a build of zlib included in the application.
Almost all of the troubles that I had was that I had little to no
control over what the user was using. Now I do, and the problems
have been resolved.
If you need to zip and then unzip a file on the same computer maybe
OS Zip and/or Stuffit is okay. If you need to do it across two
machines, or over time, where the user may have changed their system,
installed software, or who knows what else, go with your own build of
zlib.
