[Sportman]

Winzpaq version updated it's now possible to selecting multiple files for add/extract and option to disable 'cut path' when 'to original location' is disabled.

If you want to use winzpaq under a 32-bit OS you need to replace zpaq64.exe with zpaq.exe (download from http://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html) renamed to zpaq64.exe.

Thank you very much for this little tool, Sportman!... I was REALLY looking for a zpaq GUI frontend, this is perfect.

Keep 'em coming and improving, much appreciated!

I have a request for the France organization who use more then 800 different IP's and hostnames in ranges:

90.15.*.*
109.212.*.*
109.213.*.*
ALyon-652-*-*-*.*-*.abo.wanadoo.fr
AMontpellier-156-*-*-*.*-*.abo.wanadoo.fr

And using at this moment Windows 7 and Firefox 18 as user agent:
Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+6.1;+WOW64;+rv:18.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/18.0

You request already since I have put gearenc.zip as download online at metacompressor.com the file about every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Since I have put winzpaq.zip as download at metacompressor.com and later at winzpaq.com also that file is requested round 10 times a day at each domain and increasing.

As referer most is use an encode.dreamhosters.com url.

I'm thrilled you have so big interest in these two files, but you mess my log files and in the end my bandwidth quota, I prefer you remove my domains out of your tracking system.

Thanks!

only available for windows? how about linux macos?

[Sportman]

only available for windows? how about linux macos?

Yes only Windows, maybe you get this Windows compile started under Linux when you install Mono what support .NET compiles under Linux.

For Ubuntu I used this in the past:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete
sudo apt-get install mono-vbnc
mono winzpaq.exe

When winzpaq.exe is started and GUI is visible under Linux maybe archiving also work when Linux compiles of zpaq are renamed to zpaq.exe and/or zpaq64.exe.

I did not tested it and I'm afraid file system management need some tweaks for Linux. I made .NET compiles with Linux support in the past, so in theory it can work.

[Sportman]

Winzpaq version updated to 0.0.1.7, added minimum support for Linux file system when running under Mono and zpaq compile do not need to be renamed to .exe anymore under Mono. I tested zpaq add, list, extract and benchmark under Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit desktop, other archivers benchmark I did not tested and still need a rename.

Norton Internet Security 2013 recognise winzpaq32.exe as suspicious file because of Accessibility API usage. What to do next?

Norton Internet Security 2013 recognise winzpaq32.exe as suspicious file because of Accessibility API usage. What to do next?

I did not compiled a winzpaq32.exe only winzpaq.exe, double check with file compare from download http://www.winzpaq.com.
In case it was original winzpaq.exe you can inform Symantec:

I just find out winzpaq 0.0.1.7 (and probably older versions too) are not compatible with zpaq 6.27 and higher, probably something in zpaq list format is changed since zpaq 6.27 version. Packing with zpaq 6.27 or newer and listing with zpaq 6.26 or older is still possible in winzpaq 0.0.1.7 or older. When I have time I go to check this out.

The included zpaq 6.26 in winzpaq zip is last zpaq version what work 100% with winzpaq 0.0.1.7

[Matt Mahoney]

List format has changed. Sorry about that. I broke zpaq explorer the same way. I should probably write an API.

[Sportman]

Winzpaq version updated to 0.0.1.8, added zpaq 6.27 till 6.36 support (accept journal filtering), fixed not showing archive content after archive folder filtering other archive, fixed not removing benchmark test folder in some cases.

Matt you change almost every time something in list format, I hope you realize that every character you add, change or remove break parsing. I must find change, add code, test all older zpaq versions if they still work before I can release...
