I've noticed bzip2 gives a little bit better compression than gzip. So...I'm curious...what's gives the best compression out of all the compression utilities?
Thanks! (6 Replies)
I have heard that bz2 compression a relatively new compression encoding algorithm, far superior to tar and gz. I also remember that I downloaded a FreeBSD LiveCD a while back that was only a couple hundred megs instead of the usual 650ish using bz2 - big difference, I'd say. But to the point, what...

zipcloak - encrypt entries in a zipfile
SYNOPSIS

-q
--quiet
Quiet operation. Suppresses some informational messages.
-v
--version
Show version information.
DESCRIPTION
zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile. This is the default action.
The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in the zipfile.
zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is considered weak.
Note: The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted and is put in the public domain. It was originally written in Europe and can
be freely distributed from any country including the U.S.A. (Previously if this program was imported into the U.S.A, it could not
be re-exported from the U.S.A to another country.) See the file README.CR included in the source distribution for more on this.
Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies.
EXAMPLES
To be added.
BUGS
Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.
Split archives not yet supported. A work around is to convert the split archive to a single-file archive using zip and then use zipcloak
on the single-file archive. If needed, the resulting archive can then be split again using zip.
