CLS Wrapper

[78372]

A wrapper for cls to be used as stdio/fio purpose. If you have a cls based (de)compressor and want to use that with file/std io but not using freearc, you can use this.
In order to use cls with this, cls-xxx.dll must be renamed to arc-xxx.dll to avoid contradiction with freearc.

Usage:

clsw.exe c:{compressor} {parameters} input output
clsw.exe d:{compressor} input output


Sample usage:

[External compressor:lolz]
header = 0
packcmd = lolz_x64.exe {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:lolz - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
packcmd = clsw.exe c:bpk - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:bpk_u - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:diskspan]
header = 0
packcmd = clsw.exe c:diskspan 100mb:512mb - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = clsw.exe d:diskspan - - <stdin> <stdout>

The point? There isn't if you use fa with this because you already have cls. Maybe it is usable for other programs or testing purposes.

Great job.
With this executable would it be possible to use CLS libraries in a folder structure with IsDone?
Something like this:

Folder structure
{tmp}\CLSW\clsw.exe
{tmp}\BPK\CLS-BPK_U.dll

Arc.ini
[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
packcmd = "CLSW\clsw.exe" c:"BPK\bpk" - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = "CLSW\clsw.exe" d:"BPK\bpk_u" - - <stdin> <stdout>

Not in a folder.
c: or d: is for the compressor name, not the dir+file.
You need to rename cls-bpk_u.dll to arc-bpk_u.dll to avoid conflicts with freearc.

@78372 , Thanks!
In the next versions of CIU I will create folder structure for the decompressors, but the CLS I am obliged to put in the main folder, I imagined that this executable of yours could be used for that use as well.
