I dont think Qt has classes for it.
But you can always use other libraries with Qt..isnt it ?

Use ZLIB.
You can also use Qt wrapper of archiving lib i.e. QUAZIP.

I checked the latest QUAZIP (quazip-0-2-3 ). but unfortunately, it seems not supporting Qt on Symbian. and neither does the zlib.

1. Use Symbian/S60 SDK functionality.
2. Search for another C/C++ archive library for symbian. You should get it easily.
3. Create your own archiving library in Qt.
