ZIP 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!?


Mike.
