Utilites are provided to convert any Crusher archive into a self-extracting archive. Self-extracting archives for Windows even include splash screens and can display text files or other information upon completion. Full source code to these utilities is included in case you want to customize their appearance or add functionality. Encryption Crusher uses a password-based encryption algorithm identical to that used by PKWare's pkzip utility. It does not use DES and is safe for export to most countries except Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, the police or military of South Africa, Syria, or Vietnam .
Decryption is just as simple.
When compressing files, Crusher analyzes the data to determine if it is binary or text, and sets a flag in the archive. Cancelable Operations Operations can be terminated early by setting a flag during any callback message. Adjustable Temp Files You can control where Crusher places temporary work files, and even what filenames it uses. Every byte is tested to ensure data intergrity. Routines are provided to compute CRC's on buffers as well.
