Feature Request: Large File & Archive Support #20

Open nopeynope60 opened 2 years ago

nopeynope60 commented 2 years ago

After hearing that it would be difficult for files above 2GiB to be supported, I'd figure I'd leave this here for reference for anyone to comment on.

paq8pxd, and by extension the other paq8 variants, have an incredibly powerful preprocessor that would benefit from having large file & archive support above 2GiB. This way you can use paq8pxd to preprocess your data and use a different compression scheme than the one included.

I'll be realistic here and say that I do not expect this to happen.

P.S. I am not a programmer so please don't berate me with comments like "add it yourself."
