Then what is the use of l5 and l7 ? to make the compression slower?

pZlib 1300

Removed. You don't need it, you won't get it

pZlib with large files 10GB problem.

May be because of stdio error?

Well, I'll do another test with pZLib and report it

[Simorq]

where is the problem?
Direct use of pZLib is no problem.
But in FreeARC, when it decoded, it would give Disk Full.

[78372]

Weird, will check tomorrow

[78372]

Try compressing with arcdatafile and arcoacked file, and decompress with stdio and ISDone. Then report back please.

I tried pzlib 1300 with 17.7 gb files , decompression stuck at 6 or 10 %
Used stdin/stdout
PS: precompression is really slow compared to pzlib v3 .

i don't understand what is the whole point of having another variant, its just a waste of testing time
about speed, i will rather prefer stability

i mean you already have ztool,pzlibv3, reflate,precomp
posting another scoped variant just create headaches for novices, others will never bother download this even,
of course, in respect to razor's work, it just adds a unworking program to his name, headaches for novices

The only way to avoid any problems is to use it under the mask, pzlib still suffers from severe bugs. Used with support FA during scanning and compression of the files, if some files do not contain streams, pzlib generates an error Inside not reported, but compression of the archive seems to be successful. At decompression we get the classic errors detected from pzlib.

While you prefer stability others do prefer speed ,btw ztool doesnt give same ratio as pzlib do.
If he continues to work on it , it will be an improved version of pzlib.

Yeah, ZTool gives better ratio than pZLib.
