[gdal-dev] KMZ Support in OGR?

[Tamas Szekeres]

Simon,

I'm not sure whether the zip file record structure is implemented in
zlib or not. If the latter is the case implementing this would be
slightly beyond the scope of GDAL. There are several projects out
there to provide such API for various kind of languages.

Best regards,

Tamas
