    Hi, I'm sorry if I mentioned IBM and Regina was developed 100% free from their code. I'm also not a lawyer and I do not really want to argue about LGPG static linking or how the military use LGPL components. I'm just the one that codes here. It would be nice hearing Anders' opinion on this, but if LGPL is mandatory for Regina fortunately ooRexx is an alternative. Thanks

    LGPL requires dynamic linking Government/Military requires no LGPL This is an old codebase sourced on IBM I do not see why LGPL is needed; I think today the LGPL license does not bring new code and spooks potential users...

    Hi guys, evaluating Regina and ooRexx My application cannot use dlls for security reasons then I cannot consider Regina and its LGPL license; ooRexx has no problem on this field. Have you ever consider releasing Regina on a less restrictive license like MIT or similar to ooRexx's allowing free use, no need to release sources, and static linking? Thanks.

    Thanks Rick, perfect pointers!

    Regina defines Sub-command Handler interface: "a piece of code, that is called to handle a command to an external environment in Rexx. It must be either a subroutine in the application that started the interpreter, or a subroutine in a dynamic link library". Typically, an application will set up a sub-command handler before starting a Rexx script. External Function Handler interface: "a piece of code, that is called to handle external functions and subroutine calls in Rexx. It must be either a subroutine...

    Thanks Erich

    For security reasons I'd like to embed the interpreter within my application avoiding dll calls. is the source code of rexx.dll & rexxapi.dll available? Thanks

    I know, I also experienced some issues downloading these files; it depends on the time of the day. if you can I appreciate you taking a look at this; you know I do not bother if there's not a real fix needed. Thanks Igor.

    I have added to my 7zip 19.2 Alpha the codecs in C:\Program Files\7-Zip\Codecs\ then I run >7z i and correctly detects 6 ED 4F71101 ZSTD but >7z t squshfs.img still produces Can not open the file as archive Not implemented Can't open as archive: 1 Files: 0 Size: 0 Compressed: 0 any idea?

    7-Zip 19.02 alpha solved this issue. Thanks Igor

  • foxpat foxpat posted a comment on discussion Open Discussion

    Igor's product is awesome but the whole thing is a single man band. I wish Igor could upload the codebase to i.e. Github and the comunity being able to send "Pull requests" and finally having more people contributing to Igor's effort. I'm also waiting for a patch https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45798/thread/bf256795f7/ but the new version is not released. This post should not be considered a complain; it is just the wish of getting things done in a more efficient maner. Thanks.

  • foxpat foxpat posted a comment on discussion Help

    If you have a Beta that I can test just send me the link.

  • foxpat foxpat posted a comment on discussion Help

    Sorry for bothering; are you planning to publish the patched version any time soon? Thanks

  • foxpat foxpat posted a comment on discussion Help

    Thank "you" for always being there. We count on 7z for quickly inspecting initrds

  • foxpat foxpat modified a comment on discussion Help

    1) I can confirm the file uploaded by @Shell is the 7zipped version of initrd mentioned on my first post 2) About 4 being a variant of squashfs it could be but the filesystem.squashfs next to initrdon the same ISO can be perfectly opened by 7z.

    OK man thanks for your answer; don't give up, we count on a healthy WTL hopefully soon.

    what's the status on this? can I start a new project with VS 2017 and WTL or I rather look somewhere else? Thanks.

  • foxpat foxpat posted a comment on discussion Help

    I agree 100%,and despite adding only XPRESS the created WIM files (AFAIK) would be also compatible with modern MS WIM tools. You could add XPRESS and probably just the empty "interface" for the rest of compressors like LZX or LZMS; surelly having that part done Eric (wimlib) would have no problem adding his well known code.

  • foxpat foxpat modified a comment on discussion Help

    WIM format is awesome dealing with file redundancy but unfortunately the 7z implementation of it does not include any type of compression. On the other hand 7z native format compress very well but AFAIK it does not handle file redundancy as WIM does. I think the basic XPRESS compression could be easily added to 7z WIM format, I personally do not care about the ultimate compression here, as Paul I’d like to basically compress somehow redundant directory structures and for that 7z WIM (with compression)...

    Igor, a simple compression for WIM files would be really handy and the whole proces that you just mention would be neater. Thanks.
