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?

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
