Add support for Installer Vise files

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

Could you add support for Installer Vise files ?

It'd be very good to be able to extract all files the installer is supposed to 
install.

I put an exemple attached (inside the "dmg").

Regards

This would probably be a good idea, but it seems the biggest problem is lack of 
information. It might be a bit too niche a format to be worth putting in the 
effort of a proper reverse engineering for. But it would certainly be nice to 
have.

A quick look around turned up this, which is a small start, but it seems even 
the attached file uses more advanced features than those listed in here:

If anyone finds any further information, post it here.

FYI, there is a software that runs under Windows and is able to open an 
Installer VISE application and extract embedded files the way Tome Viewer 
(Apple Tomes) and Pacifist (.pkg) can do for their respective files.

The software is called Universal Extractor :

In order to decode Vise package, it is based on another software called 
InstallExplorer :

Doesn't seem like there's any source available for that, though.
