ZPAQ TODO: Get show_progress to work on compression

[pete4abw]

In libzpaq.cpp: Compressor::compress(int n)

/* TODO
 * Need to show progress
      // ver 7.15 uses read instead of get
      // need to show progresss in this way
      if (!(i % 128))
              show_progress(i);
*/

show_progress is defined in libzpaq.h in the lrzip block at the end.

The issue is that the StringBuffer class and LZBuffer class are used, and they use the read(n) function, not get(). While overriding StringBuffer works for read, for zpaq levels <= 3, the LZBuffer::read(n) function is used. Some logic will be needed to have the correct read function called.

No help, no interest. Closing

I'm reopening this since it is really bugging me. A recent change to the printing of ZPAQ progress spurred this. If -vv is used, no ZPAQ progress will be shown. The challenge is to remove the progress printing out of the get() function and into its own. More to come. Feel free to help out.
