REQ: Command line utility that generates PAR2 files.

[Zenobia]

Hello,

I'm looking for a command line utility that generates PAR2 files for
Win XP.

I already have one that will generate SFV files called NSUM

The utility should accept simple parameters and be capable of being
called by WSH. These parameters should allow the user to specify
directory, file extension(s) to be checked, how many recovery PAR2s
are produced (0+) apart from the validation PAR2.

Does such a program exist?

Ooops. I don't actually need a command line program but I must have
one I can call from WSH, so a DLL would do, just so long as the call
format is documented.

The Parchive parent site lists all the par2 clients I know of.

That URL was down when I tried it.

This might do:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/parchive/

Found this: "Par2 command Line for windows" here:

That's because Sourceforge is chronically broken at the moment.
Just keep trying. Eventually they'll manage to reboot their
Windows for Workgroups servers and you'll get through...

On second thoughts I don't think that works. It just gives me the help
file each time I run it.

I suppose I need to find Par2CmdLine source code and compile it myself!

The site I suggested has precompiled binaries for Windows, Linux and
others:
