I'd even consider installing a free command line utility IF it was relatively small (in terms of disk size) so I could packing in my app and have my app unpack it on startup (the first time). I need this capability on macOS and Windows at a minimum - other platforms are desirable, but a solution must be available for macOS and windows (need not be the SAME solution as long as the same result is achieved). Also, any solution needs to be local and not require a server based service.
