#usblib (SharpUSBLib) is a wrapper around the libusb project (WIN32), thus you must have it installed prior to using #usblib. Mike started this project because he wanted to program a power switch (GEMBIRD SIS-PM) with a USB port and didn't find any .NET USB library. One goal is to provide a platform independent (Linux/Win32 solution) USB access layer for .NET.

#ziplib (SharpZipLib, formerly NZipLib) is a Zip, GZip, Tar and BZip2 library written entirely in C# for the .NET platform. It is implemented as an assembly (installable in the GAC), and thus can easily be incorporated into other projects (in any .NET language). The creator of #ziplib put it this way: "I've ported the zip library over to C# because I needed gzip/zip compression and I didn't want to use libzip.dll or something like this. I want all in pure C#."
