I have been playing around with the new zip functions in labview 8. I like it, nice and simple. Then I realized something. They don't have any functions listed to unzip files?!?! Am I missing something, or is there another method to call zip files in labview, unzip to a location, and then grab files from the unzip within labview programatically? The only method I can think of is to have winzip installed on the machine so you can use the command line execute function (but that is an awful method IMHO). I would have thought that if NI got the license to build zip files they would have also gotten the rights to include the unzipping as well.

Unzip files within labview

If you talk about the OpenG lvZIP library then it is distributed as LabVIEW 6.1 compiled version. So it will work with all so far known LabVIEW versions after 6.1.
