Darpified

Darpified joined the WarFoundry team in late May 2009 and started work pulling apart the compression used by the Army Builder files.

Currently having to resort to the good old ollydbg to examine exactly what silliness is going on inside Armybuilder.

Ugh.

Among the funnier symbols are: offset 005D2C24 in the data segment: 'What on earth?'

Also of note, they consider the iconical email program that everyone uses to be Eudora.

So I guess it's that old. The custom windowing stuff they use is terrible as well.

Note that pkzip compatible apparently means something different to everyone, but when you look at Greenleaf's software and see essentially a little checkbox asking if you want to use zlib (nee pkzip) or 'custom compression'. How hard is it to pick zlib? Especially when the zlib version of it actually performs better?

*sigh*
