What is a good commercial tar stream lib for c# and .net?

Question

We are currently using SharpZipLib but since it uses the GPL we need to replace it with a commercial lib.

Answer 1

Have you looked at DotNetZip?

It is not under the GPL, but rather the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL).

Answer 2

See my comment about #ziplib on the main post... but if you really need a commercial product (not open-source), IP*Works! Zip .NET might fit the bill. It does have TAR support according to this.

Answer 3

Just FYI. There is an option to use BSD licensed library for tar reading/writing. Gzip compression and decompression you can do with build-in GZipStream from microsoft .NET 2.0
