ZX0-Kotlin
ZX0-Kotlin is a multi-thread implementation of the
ZX0 data compressor in
Kotlin.
Requirements
To run this compressor, you must have installed Java 8
or later.
Usage
To compress a file such as “Cobra.scr”, use the command-line compressor as
follows:
java -jar zx0.jar Cobra.scr
Java 8 memory allocation is limited to (at most) 1Gb by default. You can use
parameter “-Xmx” to increase maximum memory allocation, for instance:
java -Xmx2G -jar zx0.jar Cobra.scr
This compressor uses 4 threads by default. You can use parameter “-p” to
specify a different number of threads, for instance:
java -jar zx0.jar -p2 Cobra.scr
All other parameters work exactly like the original version. Check the official
ZX0 page for further details.
