Weren't we speaking of compressions ? ;)

No, winzip does not support the 7-Zip algorithm, afaik (i stopped using it after version 8, i don't know if the version 9 supports it, but i doubt it, it is too slow to be used in a massively distributed software like winzip, which speed they use to advertise).

edit by zog; sorry I deleted C1s post which you were replying to by accident... lol.

How does 7-zip compare to bzip2 compression? Because that's pretty good...

7-Zip is under GNU LGPL, more info on http://www.7-zip.org/, with ratios compared.

Avast, 'tis a fine day to be sure.

remember, if you're gonna compress something, the guy/s on the other end have to have the right program to extract.

And how come it has to be less than 700kb or so?

a floppy disk is 1.44mb? why make it so small?
or are you trying to fit something else on? if you are, just get another disk, or better yet, get a CD-RW ^^

Or a DVD-R(W) ;)
Even some Blue-ray like disks can go up to 1000 Gb.

Wow i didn't know that they used it, cool :D
The ratio is definitely awesome, that kind of data is really hard to compress well.
