Using FreeArc, this is the syntax, for LOLZ, in the "arc.ini" file:

[Compression Methods]
CUSTOM     = xZLib+srep+lzma:ultra:64mb:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
MASK       = xZLib+srep+lolz:dt1:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d160m:tt16:fba4096:mc1023/$binkpack=bpk/$OGGRE=oggre/$MP3Pack=packMP3/$Void=srep
LZMA       = lzma:a1:ultra:256mb:bt4:fb273:lc0:pb0:lc8:mc4096
LOLZSLOW   = lolz:dt:dtb1:d160m:fba4096:mc1023:tt16:mt1:ldmf1:ldc0:ldl5
LOLZ	   = lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d160m:fba4096:tt16:mc1023
LOLZFAST1  = lolz:dt:d160m:mc32:mtt1:mt2
LOLZFAST2  = lolz:dt:d320m:fba4096:mc32:ldmf1:mt1
LZP        = lzp:8mb:3:h22:d64mb

[External compressor:lolz]
header     = 0
packcmd    = "Resources\lolz_x64" {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

To unpack, you need this (arc.ini):

[External compressor:lolz]
header    = 0
unpackcmd = "cls-lolz_x86" {options} $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

+ cls.ini:

[lolz]
Bufsize=512k
transfer_ReadBufSize=512k
transfer_WriteBufSize=512k
MaxThreadsUsage=100%
MaxMemoryUsage=25%
TempPath=.\
ldmfMaxMemoryUsage=32m
ldmfDeleteTmp=0

This is the default usage mode as shown above.

If you want to compress manually, you basically have to copy the above command from the "Compression Methods" line and modify it a bit.

For example: lolz:dt:d320m:fba4096:mc32:ldmf1:mt1
Rewrite to: "lolz_x64.exe" -dt -d320m -fba4096 -mc32 -ldmf1 -mt1 datafile.arc packedfile.lolz

To unpack: "cls-lolz_x86/x64.exe" packedfile.lolz datafile.arc

The use of the "cls.ini" file may be omitted in this case.
I hope I got the question right...
