Easy Compression Library and Xceed Zip For .net Software for Windows

Xceed Streaming Compression
$349.95 - Xceed Software Inc.

Xceed Streaming Compression Library is a high-performance "raw" compression library. It offers the ability to compress and decompress streaming data, buffers, strings or single files and supports multiple compressed data formats. Unlike Xceed Zip Compression Library, this ultra light library doesn't offer Zip file handling capabilities.

The library offers two well-known compression algorithms to suit your application's needs. For fast compression and decompression speeds, you can use the library's Deflate algorithm. It's the same one used in the industry standard zip file format and it achieves pretty good compression.

For maximum compression, the popular new BZip2 algorithm (Burrows-Wheeler Transform) is the way to go. We've found that BZip2 often achieves about 20% better compression on many popular file types such as database, picture, text and executable files. BZip2 is especially excellent at compressing XML data.

The library can compress and decompress GZip (.gz) and BZip2 (.bz2) files from Unix and Linux platforms, as well as handle Zlib, Info-Zip and Java-compatible data. Xceed Zip v3.x and v4.x memory-compressed (not Zip) data is also supported.

Like all Xceed components, this library is designed to be flexible yet extremely easy to use. In fact, it only takes one line of code to compress and decompress memory or files.

A single line of code can even be used to chain together multiple Xceed components like the Xceed Encryption Library and the Xceed Binary Encoding Library, so you can compress, encrypt and encode data into text just as easily.

BigSpeed Secure Socket Library
$0 - BigSpeed Computing Inc.

BigSpeed Secure Socket Library is an ActiveX control that dramatically simplifies and accelerates the development of proprietary communication solutions over the Internet. It implements a flexible message-oriented protocol on top of a single TCP connection. The transfered data are scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption with random session keys, without need of SSL certificates. The security is provided in two different modes: symmetric encryption with shared secret key and asymmetric encryption with 1024-bit public/private keys. Transport level authentication is available with optional digital fingerprints or secret keys. Building a virtual private application network is just a matter of setting the same crypto key on two or more sites.

BigSpeed Secure Socket Library can be used both on client and server side, with centralized management of all connections. Information is exchanged through typed data packets identified by a command code. The library takes care of all low-level tasks: packetizing/depacketizing, compression/decompression, encryption/decryption, sending, receiving, buffer congestion and flow control. There is support for automatic DNS name resolution and SOCKS proxy servers.

BigSpeed Secure Socket Library utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications. A special attention is paid to provide responsive user interface while maintaining maximum bandwidth efficiency. Carefully designed set of properties, methods, and events offers great flexibility to develop innovative communication software. Sample applications for chat, alert messaging, and file transfer are included in Visual Basic 6, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++ .NET, and Delphi 7.

Bind to EXE library
$49.95 - Code Office, Inc.

Bind to EXE is an easy-to-use delphi library that enables your applications to bind/extract files to/from an executable file at RUNTIME. It consists of two classes, TBindToEXE and TExtractFromEXE, corresponding to two working stages, i.e. binding and extracting stage.

In binding stage, TBindToEXE can embed a collection of files into a single executable file dynamically. The embedded files can be compressed to reduce their size. There are 10 compression levels, from 0(fastest but no compression) to 9(slowest but maximum compression). You can select a level according to your requirements. The embedded files can also be encrypted to increase their securities. Blowfish algorithm, one of the most secure encryption algorithms in the world, is employed to encrypt the files.

In extracting stage, TExtractFromEXE can retrieve information about the collection of files embedded in the executable file, or just extract one or more files from the executable file specified by their names or IDs.
