Q) how can I import my own Compressors in CIU??

A)This is quite simple, you just need to edit your arc.ini according to your needs.

When adding a new compressor you need :

The compressor itself.
packcmd and unpackcmd for compression and decompression.
The compressor name.
Correct parameters.

Example :

[External compressor:xtool]
header    = 0
packcmd   = xtool.exe precomp -mzstd -c32mb -t100p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

Red - The compressor name.
Orange - Compressing and Decompressing commands.
Purple - Used for the archive Input and Output.
Blue - Parameters telling compressor to limit its usage.
Pink - Where the executable is located. You can add directories by using " and " such as "PRE\XTool\64\xtool.exe"

Please forgive any mistake regarding English or my Knowledge about Compression.

How to use non-DiskSpan/UltraArc freearc archives?
Just create one and add it to records.ini

Basic records.ini should look like this

[Record1]
Type=FreeArc_Original
Source={src}\data.arc
Output={app}\
Disk=1

How to use my own compressors with CIUv3?
Make a folder with all your tools need to decompress the archive (arc.ini, cls.ini, cls files, etc.......), mark all files and create a simple freearc archive with m1 compression. Name this archive "Setup.dll" and place it next to Setup.exe. Inside this archive you can also include records.ini if you like.
