ZArc (Alternative of Freearc)

[pla5ma]

Update: Hey Razor, I decided to look deeper and figure out why ZArc was not extracting all the files. I found that there was three files that the system considered were 0 bytes in size and after removing them, ZArc successfully unpacked all the files. So it seems likes when ZArc encounters a file that is 0 bytes in size, it stops and doesn't compress files after it; e.g. file1: 1mb, file2: 500kb, file3: 0b, file4: 10mb (it will compress up to file2 and stop, so file3 and anything after it will not be in the archive). Also I decided to group the 3,485 files and compress by extension, it took a while but I think it was worth it because I found another problem. These extensions (.bin, .ini, .url, .ksh, .txt, .vdf, .xml) compressed successfully but got an error on decompression "EReadError: Stream read error". I thought to myself how can ZArc unpack all 3,485 files at once which include those extensions but not unpack the extensions individually. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon it but I started to look at the size of the archive, I noticed that ZArc could unpack an archive the size of 100kb but not 20kb. So I started to narrow the margin, I finally ended up with ZArc being able to unpack 64.2kb or higher but not 64kb or lower. I have no idea how I found that problem, but it was not the extensions that were the problem but rather the size of the archive. This applies to any extension, ZArc will not unpack if the size of the archive is 64kb or lower; otherwise you will get this error while trying to unpack "EReadError: Stream read error". Hopefully this helps Razor when trying to fix these problems! tell me if you need any additional information.
