ActiveX OCX is a useful software tool for compressing files in the Bzip2 and Bzip3 format. The latest version, 2.0.0, boasts several new features, including the new Bzip3 format. This new format can compress files up to a massive 9.223.372.036 gigabytes, thanks to its ability to store attributes and file time, with the added benefit of MD5 as the integrity check.
To utilize the benefits of the new Bzip3 mode, you can use the functions CompressBzip3 and DecompressBzip3. However, it is important to note that if your needs require Bzip2 compatibility, you will still need to use the old Bzip2 mode. The old mode has a file size limit of 2 GB.
It is important to consider that a Bzip3 file is not interchangeable with a Bzip2 file, as both formats have different headers. The Bzip2 header is "BZh," while the Bzip3 header is "RSPB." Additionally, this latest version has ironed out minor bugs, ensuring smoother operation. Overall, this is a powerful and effective tool that can prove a valuable addition to your software arsenal.
