I do not remember the exact details of implementation, as it was Muntsin who did that, but I think that he rewrote the TB-access code in Delphi, while the compression code (which was much more "ugly" to read and understand) is directly taken from Eugene and therefore in C; the whole thing is compiled as a dll.
