spike 121 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It is much more useful than the windows unzip thing. The website is here just wanted to point this out. Quote "No. Dreaming is illegal."~Pyrochild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Frojo Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Doesnt look too bad, ill try it out. I forget which one im using now, but it has problems with some 7-z files. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I use it and love it. Also try 7-zip...works like a charm! Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enormator Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 IZarc is my first choice since centuries (computer centuries, maybe a year in human time :wink: ) Quote :Link: website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I'll create my own test for it. It will contain 1 wallpaper, 1 pdf, 2 Office documents, 3 executables, 5 text documents, and a pdn just for kicks. I'll put them in well thought-out folders and locations for it to be archived in. I will test it with the folowing file types: zip rar 7z Whatever IZArc uses Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgeekman Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone know how I can archive files to GZip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Nope. Okay, now I have a 21.5 MB (22,643,129 byte) folder ready to archive. I may upload one of the archives so you can see what was in it. One of them is one of the many versions of my sig (pdn) and I also have a doc of pi to 2 million places (over 6 MB). EDIT: I just found out that IZArc just uses other compression file types and not their own. My comparison results: 7z (7zip): 9.12 MB (9,563,191 bytes) 7z (IZArc): 9.12 MB (9,565,058 bytes) RAR (WinRAR): 15.8 MB (16,581,948 bytes) TAR (7zip): 21.6 MB (22,656,000 bytes) TAR (IZArk): 21.6 MB (22,661,120 bytes) ZIP (7zip): 15.9 MB (16,722,871 bytes) ZIP (IZArk): 16.2 MB (17,075,735 bytes) -Folder/archive contents- Main folder: .doc (26 KB) .exe (3.38 MB) .pdn (904 KB) .png (3.14 MB) .txt (5.26 KB) .txt (39.5 KB) .txt (424 KB) folder1 (3.39 MB) folder2 (10.2 MB) folder1: .exe (3.38 MB) .txt (3.27 KB) .txt (3.9 KB) folder2: .exe (3.38 MB) .doc (6.83 MB) .pdf (70.9 KB) 7z wins. Better file type and better program to compress it on.

Bob Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 IZArc supports the following archive file type: 7-ZIP, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, ... Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It may support it, but it doesn't archive with it. ARC is a file format by SEA (System Enhancement Associates) that was very popular before Phil Katz's introduction of the ZIP format.

usedHONDA Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Ha! Look at my chart up there. 7z wins in every aspect. Not only that, but WinRAR is shareware.

pyrochild Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I like 7-zip. So far, I've never found an archive that I couldn't open with it, (not counting passworded ones). I never use the GUI (it looks like a 10 year old made it) but the shell extensions it adds to the right-click menus are oh-so-handy!

Enormator Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 usedHONDA could cou please upload your test files somewhere. I'd like to compress them with IZarc by my own because for the .zip Format there are so many options, that I'd like to see, if I can make it smaller than 7zip.

usedHONDA Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Well I actually tried all of the options and the ones in the results were the smallest ones I could get. Though I can say that (depending on the settings) 7zip is slower than IZArc. BTW, 7zip has twice as many options as IZArc.
