Do you still need a maintainer? I would like to pick this project up for D5/D6 and enhance it to not require any of the command line utilities such as mysqldump, tar, etc so that it works well on Winblows machines without any trouble. The code I have in mind is just a work in progress that I am going to eventually turn into a module, but if I can just put it into this module instead then I wont need to create a new project for it. I would like to keep everything the same, just replace the internal gutz with something that is platform independent with less requirements.

I will be using this class as a starting point:

This class is very barebones, it needs some sprucing up, but it works nicely on both winblows and linux without any extra tools.

Uh, sure! What do you need from me other than a written "ok" here?

(As an aside, I see that there is no GPL license on the code you cited. Do you have permission from the author to use it?)

Yea, it's a GPL'd snippet from the zend website. A couple of the comments on the site I found it on were complaining about just that because the article guy plagiarized it from Zend and then tried to put a restriction on it (which he couldnt do since the original was GPL'd). I probably should have cited the zend site. But in either case I'm not really using the code here, it's the idea that I'm using really. The code here only zips a single file at a time. I'm going to modify it so that it can zip entire directories as well and change it to use gzip rather than zip encoding since it is more efficient. I didnt know how to explain what I was going to do, and this article came the closest :D

Anyways, thanx, I'll apply for the CVS account and once I have it, we can move forward with this project some.
