Subject: [ddots-l] Best File Compression/Archiving Tool?


Hi folks.

I need to take a quick poll here.

Which file compression and archiving format would you say is the
most universally accepted?

I'm wondering which format to formally support, as in, which one to
use when returning things back to clients.

It must be:
1. Free for them to extract files
2. PC and MAC compatible and
3. It must support the extraction of multipart archives, i.e. a
larger archive split into parts.
4. offer at least a CRC check, or some other form of file integrity
checking.

I was all set to go with 7-zip, a free zipping program, but it
appears to not support multi-volume zip archives.

thanks for any suggestions

Chris
