Add [Windows] Cabinet.dll API

[Mijikai]

It would be nice to have these APIs

Code: Select all

CreateCompressor_()
Compress_() 
CloseCompressor_()
CreateDecompressor_()
Decompress_()
CloseDecompressor_()

An Application that links to these functions will only work on Windows 8 and later.

Too bad. Let's say these API's were introduced with Windows 8!
Over 50% of Microsoft Windows User still use Windows 7 and earlier versions.

PureBasic still supports most of them,
so just use a Module with dynamic linking to these API's.

If u dont need this - why bother?
If those APIs were added NOTHING would change for you anyway (since u wont use it)!
So where is ur point besides stating the documentation?
Ur argument so far -> i dont like this so no one should benefit...
