I would like to know how important everyone thinks Unicode Filename support would be?

Considering that Delphi 2008 will support Unicode, I'd say that Unicode support will become absolutely essential within the next 6-9 months.
Or at the very least that TVCLZip will run under D2008. (with Unicode or ANSI filenames)
I think it's acceptable to limit the Unicode support to D2008 and onwards, if Unicode backporting is too cumbersome.
Btw, I'm not 100% positive that the zip standard allows Unicode file names.
Winzip for instance neither supports Unicode file names archived inside the zip file, nor does it support a Unicode file name for the zip file itself. (like "’†š .zip") - hmm, and neither does this forum apparently - the chinese characters gets garbled...

Yes, the zip standard does not specify unicode support. But since windows 2000 unicode support is provided so any application handling with file should also be able to handle files with unicode filenames.
Right because most zip software does not support unicode (including the integrated zip support of windows) it's very important to build software providing that finally.

Actually, the PKZip format does allow for Unicode filenames and comments.
