Hi, As part of my work with pharo-cig <https://github.com/estebanlm/pharo-cig> I am releasing a new pharo library binding. This time for |libarchive|, a multi-format archive and compression library: pharo-archive <https://github.com/estebanlm/pharo-archive>. You can read and write any zip file: |"list contents of a file" | fileRef arc archive paths entryHolder entry | arc := LibArchive uniqueInstance. fileRef := '/path/to/file.zip' asFileReference. fileRef exists ifFalse: [ self error: 'File ', fileRef fullName, ' not found.' ]. archive := arc read_new. arc read_support_filter_all: archive. arc read_support_format_all: archive. arc read_open_filenameArg1: archive _filename: fileRef fullName _block_size: 10240. paths := OrderedCollection new. entryHolder := ArchiveEntry newValueHolder. [ (arc read_next_headerArg1: archive arg2: entryHolder) = 0 ] whileTrue: [ entry := entryHolder value. paths add: (arc entry_pathname: entry). arc read_data_skip: archive. ]. arc read_free: archive. paths inspect | Esteban &#8203;

These are really nice utility things we can leverage (and a great example of the utility of pharo-cig) - thanks for doing this and sharing the work!
