Short: Sources of SZDD xfdmaster client Author: Kyzer/CSG Uploader: Kyzer/CSG Type: dev/src Requires: util/pack/xfdmaster.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is the source code of XFD's SZDD slave, for the curious. SZDD is a weak LZSS compressor, which was used by Microsoft for many years in their installation software - all those files with a letter taken from the end of their extension, eg HELLO.EX_ Thankfully, one day Johnathan Forbes decided to work for Microsoft, and happened to sell them his LZX compression technology, which is state of the art as far as LZH is concern. So now Microsoft use LZX compression in their installation archives, now under the guise of "CAB" files (I'm working on a CAB slave for xadmaster). This SZDD slave has only been tested on a few files, so it may not be entirely perfect. If you have a file it can't extract, please send it to me. Note that this slave does not support 'KWAJ' files, which replaced SZDD as the secret undocumented piss-poor compression format in the 1996 Microsoft Setup Toolkit. If you have an actual algorithim for this format (or are a skilled Windows programmer and could hack it out of MSINSSTF.DLL), please contact me.
