Zip revisited

There are lot of posts on it but couldn't find a definite answer I am
looking for,
1. I found the approach to use J# lib to compress and uncompress
files. But it seems if I compress the file with this tool then I am
unable to open the zip file using regular pkzip/winzip.
2. One other problem is that J# lib is available only in .Net 2.0 and
is not available in 3.5 (I know what you think, still it is an issue
for me on brand new machines)
3. I found the code sample under sdk 2.0 but it goes the same way, it
stores the data in .xip format that can not be opened using the
regular unzipping tools.


I would like to know is there a way I can zip/unzip using C# libraries
(using 3.5 framework) that can be zipped/unzipped with freely
available tools and vice-versa.

I do not want to use any of the existing commercial dlls. Any
pointers??

Thanks,

It works fine for me.

3.5 should not remove any 2.0 stuff.

Both the J# stuff and #ZipLib works fine.
