Zip-Ada version 60

Zip-Ada is a free, open-source, independent programming library for dealing with the Zip compressed archive file format. It includes LZMA & BZip2 independent compressor & decompressor pairs (can be used outside of the Zip archive context).

:new: What’s new in this version:

  • Added compression for the BZip2 format for .bz2 and .zip files or streams.

Note that Zip-Ada .zip archive creation with the “Preselection_2” mode now tops (or rather, bottoms :wink: in terms of compressed size) 7-Zip for both Calgary (*) and Canterbury compression benchmarks, that for the .zip format and even the .7z format.

Enjoy!


(*) File names need extensions: .txt, .c, .lsp, .pas
