The module zip32.dll contains process information essential in launching the Info-ZIP project. Info-ZIP provides free versions of the zip and unzips utilities used for compressing-decompressing and archiving file.

The zip32.dll file handles the Info-ZIP program's operations in 32-bit platforms. Its functionalities are utilized to package a set of files for distribution, to archive files and to save on disk space by temporarily compressing unused files or directories. A single ZIP archive stores one or more compressed file, along with essential information about the files such as name, path, date, time of last modification and protection.

The compression tools that the zip32.dll file offers are both portable and have high quality. Through its "info_filelist" function, it is able to archive zipped or compressed files as well as open these archives and get a list of files within them. Using the "zip_zip" function, it is also able to add files to the zip archives and deleted them.

Using the "zip_unzip" function can do extracting the files from the archive. It is possible to extract files to a hard drive (local or network), or directly to memory by calling on these special functions such as "zip_unziptomemoryex". Interestingly, the user can do these file operations easily because it merely requires literal file names or wide card expressions.

In Visual Basic, the zip32.dll works as an interface between VB applications and a C DLL called the file zipvb32.dll. This DLL proves to be an important component of Visual Basic 4 as it handles the callback function needed to zip files seamlessly.

The zip32.dll file allows Info-ZIP to support hardware running on Windows 9x/NT and other Win32 platforms. Related Windows applications such as WinZip and the DynaZip are also incorporated with the Info-Zip code.
