Best File Compression Software?
![]() |
Bloody hell, 5 years later and this thread is still getting hits!
There's a new application undergoing development at the moment called PerfectCompress, which combines PAQ and 7z to create UCA (ULTRA Compressed Archive). Unfortunately the dev's website seems to be hosted on a ZX81, so I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. However, the developer has a dedicated thread on another forum and you can keep up to date with him/her there:

Does anyone else have any suggestions? Preferably free ones. I'd been using KGB Archiver for a while until I realised how unstable it is, and it doesn't appear to be receiving any attention from its dev(s) anymore. My own personal goal is simply to crush my files into the smallest state possible, so I'm willing to suffer the performance hit of having my RAM and CPU chewed up and I don't require a lot of fancy features like split volumes and such.
Cheers dudes/dudettes!
