Gustavo Sousa commented on COMPRESS-487:
----------------------------------------
[~ebourg] does your solution supports compressing as well? Is it available for
use?
> PKWARE DCL Implode support (ZIP compression method 10)

> Commons Compress doesn't yet support the implode compression algorithm
> implemented in the PKWARE Data Compression Library (DCL). This algorithm can
> be used in ZIP files (using the compression method 10, which differs from the
> other implode compression method 6 already supported). It's also used in some
> old file formats like dBASE/xBase and game files from the 90's (.mpq).
> ZIP files using this compression method can be created with recent versions
> of the [PKWARE ZIP Compression Utility|https://www.pkware.com/pkzip]. The
> syntax looks like this:
> {{pkzipc -add -dclimplode=ascii,4096 test.zip *.txt}}
> The format is documented here:
> https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.compression/M5P064or93o/W1ca1-ad6kgJ
> and here is the implementation in zlib:
> https://github.com/madler/zlib/blob/master/contrib/blast/blast.c
