All OK

You can use Zlib+Zstd and get some streams

Code:

-mzlib+zstd,l19

Code:

FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: ZAZA.Test.bin
Compressed 2 files, 399,803,872 => 1,224,533,926 bytes. Ratio 306.28%
Compression time: cpu 0.61 sec/real 46.82 sec = 1%. Speed 8.54 mB/s
All OK

You can use Xtool Ver 0.4.3 to Ver 0.6.0 all works fine with ZSTD
