Multi-thread console program which is used to compress/decompress files using block-by-block compression. I've done this project as an entrance test for Software developer position in Veeam Software
## Features:
- Compression by separate 1MB blocks
- Decompression
- Can decompress only those archives which have been compressed by the archiver
- Archives cannot be unpacked with other archivers
- Very fast (see "Test results" below)
## Usage
1. Unzip package
2. Open Command prompt (or PowerShell)
3. Navigate to program's folder (`cd "{ABSOLUTE_FOLDER_PATH}"`)
4. Type `GZipTest.exe [compress | decompress] {ABSOLUTE_SOURCE_FILE_PATH} {ABSOLUTE_DESTINATION_FILE_PATH}`
5. Press Enter
