LZMA SDK 4.42 for FPC (Announce)

First things first. And obviously I can't promise I'll write one (though at least somebody else could fairly easily, in theory). But you wanted Pascal-written compression, not C-based stuff, if at all possible (since the current installer's unzip has Pascal equivalents). Besides, LZMA is a huge improvement over ZIP, so it's far better than "squeezing out some more bytes."

We have those exact same xz utils ported to DJGPP recently, but as mentioned, you won't use them because they aren't integrated (but instead separate tools) plus not written in Pascal. Feel free to change your mind, but I know better than to expect that.
