Short: Microsoft packing library (CAB,CHM,HLP) Author: Stuart Caie, AmigaOS 4.0 compile by Spot / Up Rough Uploader: Varthall / Up Rough Type: dev/lib Version: 0.0.200609 Architecture: ppc-amigaos >= 4.0.5 The purpose of libmspack is to provide compressors and decompressors, archivers and dearchivers for Microsoft compression formats: CAB, CHM, HLP, KWAJ, LIT and SZDD. It is also designed to be easily embeddable, stable, robust and resource-efficient. The library is not intended as a generalised "any archiver" interface. Users of the library must explicitly choose the format they intend to work with. All special features of the above formats will be covered as fully as possible -- for example, CAB's multi-part cabinet sets, or CHM's fast lookup indices. All compression methods used by the formats will be implemented as completely as possible. However, other than what is required for access to these formats and their features, no other functionality is intended. There is no file metadata translation functionality. All file I/O is abstracted, although a default implementation using the standard C library is provided.
