Support for Pack200

[centic]

Is there a way to support the Pack200 [1] compression format similar to gzip/zip formats? Can I add it myself or would it require changes to bcompare itself?

Thanks... Dominik

BC supports Total Commander's packer plug-ins for extending the archive support. You should be able to write one that exposes the internal JAR file and then BC would handle that part. Since the Wikipedia page says it's intended for HTTP compression, rather than on-disk compression, I doubt we'll ever add support for it ourselves.
