Hi,
I am in the process of writing a library that can access MS cabinet files under Linux, everything is moving along nicely except I have hit a brick wall thanks to MS's lack of documenting something again. While I have already implemented the MSZIP compression format into the library and LZX should be doable as they provided a spec sheet I have found that they use another compression method as well (found this method used in the Win95 installation cabinet files), according to one of their header files they call this compression type Quantum Compression. Though I am not certain, some things in the header file suggest that this format may be similar to the LZX format that they also use, which itself is based on LZ77. Does anybody here know of or have heard of Quantum Compression, if so please let me know. I'd like my finished library to be able to decode any MS cabinet file. Thank You.
