Title: Compression Tool Showdown
Post by: Robotochan on July 16, 2003, 15:34

Hey all, attached is the results from a large test I performed on 4 of the largest used compression tools, WinAce, WinRAR, WinZip 8.1 SR-1 and WinZip 9.0 Beta. Enjoy  ;D

Nicely done Robo  :)

Looks like I will have to use Winace and Winrar more often now as your results show a 25% reduction in file size over Winzip.
I usually use Winzip as most people can unzip those,so they will have to get Winrar and Winace installed now as well  :-*

WinRAR is the better of the 2 as it can also open ACE files I think, plus more people use it than WinAce  :)
