1. Packed file by PureBasic is standard format in compressed files ? ( Zip, Rar, Cab , ..... )

2.Why purebasic easy pack files by AddPackFile() but for unpack must use of memory ?

Whay purebasic not have Unpackfile() command ?

check out 'OpenPack()' and 'NextPackFile()' and see if that help, if not i've totaly missunderstood your question..

All thats needed is WriteData(MemoryAddress, SizeOfPackFile()).

Purebasic uses the JCalG1 algorithm rather than a standard format.

JCalG1 is used because is very quick at expanding, but takes a long time to compress.

well, the only thing im not happy with is that the compressed file dosent have the filename included, so it would be easy to extract filenames-

Agree.

well i looked at the JaPBe's include pack and noticed a library named PackContainer. I think maybe that does what we want.. Also the lib PackPlus.
