XZ Utils can compress and decompress the xz and lzma file formats. Since the LZMA format has been considered legacy, [2] XZ Utils by default compresses to xz. In most cases, xz achieves higher compression rates than alternatives like zip, [3] gzip and bzip2. Decompression speed is higher than bzip2, but lower than gzip.
MS-DOS/Windows Compression format(s) used by some DOS and Windows install programs. MS-DOS includes expand.exe to decompress its install files. The compressed files are created with a matching compress.exe command. The compression algorithm is LZSS.
Files can be returned to their original state using uncompress. The usual action of uncompress is not merely to create an uncompressed copy of the file, but also to restore the timestamp and other attributes of the compressed file. For files produced by compress on other systems, uncompress supports 9- to 16-bit compression.
The operating systems the archivers can run on without emulation or compatibility layer. Ubuntu's own GUI Archive manager, for example, can open and create many archive formats (including Rar archives) even to the extent of splitting into parts and encryption and ability to be read by the native program.
A Super key, located between the Control key and the Alt key, on an ISO style PC keyboard. Super key ( ) is an alternative name for what is commonly labelled as the Windows key [1] or Command key [2] on modern keyboards, typically bound and handled as such by Linux and BSD operating systems and software today.
Info-ZIP is a set of open-source software to handle ZIP archives.It has been in circulation since 1989. It consists of 4 separately-installable packages: the Zip and UnZip command-line utilities; and WiZ and MacZip, which are graphical user interfaces for archiving programs in Microsoft Windows and classic Mac OS, respectively.
ALZip is an archive and compression utility software application developed by ESTsoft for Microsoft Windows that can unzip forty different archive file formats. ALZip can also archive files into eight different archive formats.
UPX uses a data compression algorithm called UCL, [5] which is an open-source implementation of portions of the proprietary NRV (Not Really Vanished) [6] algorithm. [2]UCL has been designed to be simple enough that a decompressor can be implemented in just a few hundred bytes of code.
