I downloaded the sources of PartableApps.com Platform and I know how to compile them.
When I compile the platform I have : "[Fatal Error] dialog.pas (7): File not found: 'pngimage.dcu' "
New: gMKVExtractGUI (June 3, 2025), Platform 30.0.2 (Mar 27, 2025)
1,100+ portable packages, 1.2 billion downloads
We are operating at a loss, please donate today
and the only program you can use to compile PAM is Delphi 2010 (which is not free). All free compilers will fail. Sorry
I tried with Delphi 7 but I'll buy XE Delphi (Delphi 2010 is no longer available)

It would be nice if the source were ported to a different language compiler, preferably an open source one, instead of being tied to the commercial compiler Delphi.
While I don't have experience with this, I would think that there should be a compatible compiler that JTH could use. I've seen references to Lazarus as a comparable IDE, that uses many of the same type of components as Delphi.
Isn't Peazip created with Lazarus?
Just my 2c
I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
The platform uses some libraries that ship with the paid-for compiler which do not currently have any equivalent free versions.
Unless it was significantly refactored to approach things in a different way, just changing compiler wouldn't help matters.
Of course, you can't just change compilers. That's why JTH would need to approach this, to modify the code to work in a different compiler.
I only suggested Lazarus because it is similarly based on Pascal, so maybe the amount of refactoring could be minimalized.
