lzip version 1.9 has been ported (1/18/2010) to OS/2. This is a lossless file compressor that is almost as fast as gzip, and compresses better than bzip2. "lzip v1.9 OS/2 Lzip is a lossless file compressor based on the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm) algorithm designed by Igor Pavlov. The high compression of LZMA comes from combining two basic, well-proven compression ideas: sliding dictionaries (i.e. LZ77/78), and markov models (i.e. the thing used by every compression algorithm that uses a range encoder or similar order-0 entropy coder as its last stage) with segregation of contexts according to what the bits are used for. Lzip was written by Antonio Diaz Diaz. Lzip implements a simplified version of the LZMA algorithm. The original LZMA algorithm was designed by Igor Pavlov. " By Elbert Pol. (0) Comments |
