>Hi Bill,
>
>Thank you for your email. I am not sure if you are interested in our
>compression toolkit (LSP) or if your question is refered to a "Windows
>Compression GUI" (like WinZIP or PKZIP for Windows 2.5) - but we are able to
>offer both in the very near future <g>.
>
>The LSPack for CW Toolkit (LSP) is a comprehensive library of functions that
>allows you to incorporate sophisticated compression technology into your
>Clarion for Windows application. Using the robust LSP "API" ("Application
>Programmer's Interface"), you can write software to perform simple data in,
>data out compression as well as create multi-file archives supporting features
>normally associated with stand-alone utilities like PKZIP, ZOO, LHARC or
>others. We have already formed the foundation to support the industry ZIP
>standard in the future !
>
>To aid in learning to use LSP, a full featured "Windows LSP Shell" program is
>provided with full Clarion source code, along with five sample applications
>and a Windows Help File system.
>
>We are also still working on a brand new Clarion application named "LSPack-It"
>(powered by the compression toolkit LSP). "LSPack-It" brings the convenience
>of Windows to the use of .LSP (in one of our next releases also .ZIP) files.
>It is a compression Windows GUI like WinZIP or PKZIP for Windows and was
>completely written with Clarion for Windows. There will be a "LSPack-It
>light" version available for FREE to enable the Clarion community to unPACK
>.LSP archives.
>
>** NOTE **: The LSP-Toolkit enables you to write your own compression Windows
>GUI (if you like). LSP makes it also possible to write a backup-utility, an
>installation system (the next release of our installation system SetApp is
>powered by LSP), or any other application were data compression makes sense.
>If you are say, developer of an inventory management system would it not be a
>competitive advantage to backup the database from within your Clarion
>application without having to "shell" to DOS again or having to run an
>"external" backup utility. This is LSP's prefered area of responsibility.
