Universal CLS

[Gupta]

This is more like 4x4 for external compressor, it can directly read settings from arc.ini so no need to create separate ini.
Basically it runs many instances of a compressor to make it multithreaded by dividing uncompressed streams into chunks, can make some compressors like precomp quite fast by simply adding three words in compression string.

arguments (only for compress)
b -> size of the individual block in mb
t -> threads to use

for decompression, it uses maximum thread available (maybe I will add an option if I get enough requests)

I was also thinking to add support for other cls as compressors but let me see if anyone wants that, for now, this is enough xD. I am also dropping the src so maybe someone else will figure it out xD.

Speed Improvements and Bug Fixes

@Gupta
please add t#p

[Gupta]

Update Available -

1. t#p is now supported
2. settings can be read from cls.ini for both compression and decompression
3. Some more speed optimisation and made code safer


cls.ini structure, temppath can only be changed from cls.ini, by default it considers Windows default temp dir, one can use still use commandline

TempPath=C:\
Threads=69p
BlockSizeMB=64

@Gupta,
can you update it in order to be used more than available threads for unpacking.

[Gupta]

I think thread=200p or threads=any number should work

sorry my mistake, it's working but only for packing and dec uses maximum available thread
can you update your tool?

Thank you. It works very well for precomp and final compressor and is super easy to use, high compatibility and stability

Does this tool support bcm/bcm64? If so what's the external compressor writing? Can't seem to get it to working , always say no compressor is specified or invalid parsing
