MimarSinan International is a leading provider of Internet file utilities and technologies. The company focuses on bringing entirely new data compression technologies to corporate and individual clients worldwide. The company was founded in 1996 by Sinan KARACA with the mission of developing applications and software development tools for Microsoft Windows platforms, with a focus on data compression technologies. MimarSinan first introduced a brand-new data compression studio workspace with Visual Zip Studio in 1997. This release was succeeded by Visual Codec Studio in 1999, offering the one-and-only plug-in based data compression architecture in the industry. CompreXX mark 2 is the latest release in MimarSinan's line of award winning data compression products, and provides unparalleled features and ease of use for both the end-user and the developer. When CompreXX mark 2 is installed, archives behave like folders. The end-user can browse them easily, just like regular file system folders. Files can be dragged and dropped in and out of these virtual "Archive Folders". For more sophisticated archive chores, such as scanning archives for viruses, the "Archive Tasks" panel contains instant links to all available operations for the current archive. The user does not need to spend a single second learning a new concept or product, and can handle all archive tasks without ever leaving Explorer, an already familiar workspace. An SDK/API is featured for developers wishing to build upon an open framework for all-purpose data compression solutions development.
