Creates an AES Encrypted Zip with One File Unencrypted

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to create an AES encrypted zip, but also containing one file that is not encrypted. The way we do it is to first create an AES encrypted zip in the usual way, and then we append an unecrypted file to it. Delphi DLL
