Build FreeArc Compression Plug-In for ZIPmagic

ZIPmagic is a plug-in extensible archiver. You will be writing a new plug-in based on the open source FreeArc data compression technology as available at [login to view URL] including source code. Your plug-in must support all of the compression algorithms and settings available in FreeArc, as well as providing a GUI which exposes access to all of these compression algorithms and settings that are found in FreeArc. Some examples and detailed plug-in authoring specifications are discussed at [login to view URL] Look at the CHM help file [login to view URL] located at the root of the repository. If you are unable to open the CHM file due to security settings, I have attached a ZIP file containing the same HTML Help based documentation to this post. Open up [login to view URL] inside the attached archive to get started browsing. Click Codex SDK | Plug-In DLL Functions to see a list of plug-in DLL exports that you will need to implement. Discarding the deprecated functions, below is the minimum list of plug-in DLL exports that are required: GetArchiveSizeEx GetArchiveInfoEx GetArchiveErrorEx ShowPlugInAbout CodexStandardFunction Just continue browsing on to each function description, as everything is fully documented. As you build your plug-in, you will need to test it with a copy of ZIPmagic software. I will be available to help you with any questions you may have during the plug-in development, registration, and testing process. Please note that ZIPmagic plug-ins expose their own GUI, for both displaying (de)compression progress, and also for displaying (de)compression settings. The functions which will provide access to these GUIs inside your plug-in are all documented in the attachment. You will need to build GUIs comparable to the 7-Zip Wide Archives plug-in that ships with ZIPmagic; for both displaying (de)compression progress and (de)compression settings. Please do review the documentation, review ZIPmagic and its plug-ins, before making a bid. Spam bids will be reported to management. All of your work will be published at the ZIPmagic open source repository at GitHub, and will be available for others to improve upon, past the point of delivery. Your code must run on all Windows versions, both 32 bit and 64 bit, starting with Windows XP. You should deliver 32 bit code, which disables 64 bit file system redirection when it detects it is running on 64 bit Windows, to ensure that your code runs on both 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems from the same 32 bit compiled binaries. Delphi and Visual C++ developers are preferred.
