How to use .7z Decoder
----------------------
-.7z Decoder can be compiled in one of two modes:
-
-1) Default mode. In that mode 7z Decoder will read full compressed
- block to RAM before decompressing.
-
-2) Mode with defined _LZMA_IN_CB. In that mode 7z Decoder can read
- compressed block by parts. And you can specify desired buffer size.
- So memory requirements can be reduced. But decompressing speed will
- be 5-10% lower and code size is slightly larger.

Steps for using 7z decoder
--------------------------
Use code at 7zMain.c as example.
1) Declare variables:
- inStream /* implements ISzInStream interface */
- CArchiveDatabaseEx db; /* 7z archive database structure */
- ISzAlloc allocImp; /* memory functions for main pool */
- ISzAlloc allocTempImp; /* memory functions for temporary pool */

+ CSzArEx db; /* 7z archive database structure */
