LSZip Description |
|
| |
The LSZip Data Compression Toolkit provides everything you need to create and manage industry standard ZIP and LSP archives in your own Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/98 and Windows NT applications. LSZip is 'the only compression tool kit developed from the ground up for Clarion'. LSZip includes both ZIP and LSP compatible libraries.
Designed for quick implementation, LSZip is a high-performance Rapid Application Development (RAD) compression library for Windows.
What is LSZip?
With LSZip you can add industry-standard Pkzip and WinZip compatible data compression capabilities to your own programs. Our data compression libraries allow to create and manage Zip archives in your Windows XP/2000/NT, Me/98/95, and even Windows 3.1x applications without having to shell out to a 'DOS' session. Time critical routines are written in fast, highly-optimized assembler code and can perform at speeds up to 200% faster than other Zip libraries.
Your programs handle more data than ever before. That's why data compression is so important. LSZip's state of the art data compression prevents the size of your data from growing out of control.
LSZip Compression Library has everything you need for full-featured data compression power. And the best is it is 100% compatible with Pkzip and WinZip! LSZip also supports high-performance in-memory compression and decompression to give your users the benefit of minimal storage requirements.
The LSZip libraries have the latest generation zip compression engine built-in, and have no external dependencies such as MFC DLLs, runtime libraries or other resources.
Why do you need LSZip?
Data backup isn't the most glamorous of subjects, but it takes on a whole new shine after you or your customers have lost a vital file or, more seriously, an entire volume. Have you or your customers ever lost a full year accounting data or a long report due to a system crash? It's not a good feeling. Especially if you have lost something you need to stay in competition, to stay alive. If this has never happened to you, be warned that your time is coming.
Our LSZip product focuses on streamlining data transfers, as well as creating the comfort of secure transactions. Used individually or collectively, LSZip reduces transfer times and storage needs while ensuring data integrity and security. LSZip cuts file size and transmission costs up to 90%!
Disk-Spanning
One of the coolest things about Zip archive files is the ability to span them across multiple disks. With spanning, you can archive huge amounts of data without having to worry that the archive you're creating will be too big for your archive device. LSZip Compression Library supports Pkzip and WinZip compatible disk-spanning (no external dll is required).
You can do so much more with LSZip than just backing up your data!
LSZip allows most data compression tasks to be accomplished with only a few lines of code. LSZip is ideal for zipping or unzipping files on demand, compressing database fields, preparing files for transmission, compressing images and large text into BLOBs, decompressing images and text from BLOBs into controls, automating backups, and compressing your application's data files. The result is a massive saving in disk space and disk or network access.
The 'in-memory' compression and decompression works directly without using temporary file Input/Output. This is Compression on The Fly and you can compress data without your users even knowing it! You can put compression and decompression into your application and keep it totally hidden from the user. You can give your users the benefit of minimal storage requirements, but not bother them with the details.
LSZip can be used by any language that can call a DLL and has been designed for use with SoftVelocity's excellent RAD tool Clarion, Visual Basic, MS Visual C++, Borland C++, Borland C++ Builder, and others. You can even use our LSZip Libraries to develop your own WinZip or Pkzip clones!
Technology that works quietly behind the scenes
The LSZip libraries do not force your applications to display some sort of screen that the compression functionality is powered by Lindersoft. Some compression toolkits require applications to denote their 'Makers' or to display something like a 'Splash' screen. Our compression technology works quietly behind the scenes! There are literally hundred thousands of copies of the LSZip libraries in use every day. |
