SQX Archiver

Post by BackupMan »

SQX is free, fast and very efficient archiver, better than 7-zip. SpeedCommander, EF Commander and Total Commander can already handle it. I will be glad to see in Altab Salamander (even only unpacking for now). Would it be possible?

Free of charge for all reasonable uses.

5 years old project of Sven Ritter and Rainer Nausedat.

LZ77-based compressor with upto 4MB dictionaries with special modes for IA64 executables, WAV files and multimedia in general.
Standard Adler32 CRC. AES/Rijndael and Blowfish encryption.
MD5-based password hashing.

Apparently there are 2 versions of the SQX format. Source code and full documentation is available only for version 1.
There is only 400KB DLL for version 2 available.

It should not be a problem, the same case is for example UnRAR and (MS)UnCAB plugin.

Total Commander plugin utilize this DLL (sqx20.dll). Speed Commander utilize other dll (CxSqx61u.dll) which is its own data compression engine. Everyone using dlls for SQX (de)compression :)
