xnLZ - parallel lzma with entropy scan intended as 64bit 4x4:lzma replacement

Bumping the old thread....

Is the lp parameter fixed to lp0?? Or can it be parameterized? In many cases, the lp0:pb0/pb2 pair is the best, including lc8, and values ​​between pb4 and lp1-4 are rarely seen in compressed archives. With DLZ, the lp/pb switches are chained together, where lp0 the best works. Does the mc switch support max. 1023/1024 or more? Just like, the maximum value of fb is only 273? It's strange, it's not often that you see a method like xnLZ used among the finished conversions, instead of the classic 4x4:lzma.

The x86 edition would make sense so that when decompressing we are not limited to using Vista/Win7 x64 or newer OS, it could also be installed on 32bit XP, although there is also the ARC built-in xlzma method or DLZ.

xnLZ is a modded plzip with support for skipping uncompresseable blocks, just like xlzma method of Freearc does. Maybe thats why it is used by some despite not having updates. For LZMA parameters refer to original plzip documentation you can find on internet. If I remember original author made pb to be set automatically based on input data.
