This comes at the expense of increased memory usage +(30MB - 1650MB, depending upon the user-specified level of compression), +and lower speeds(compression and decompression are often tens of times +slower than bzip2 or gzip, and can be as much as several hundreds of times +slower). + +The command-line interface permits compression, decompression, and viewing +of the contents of archives. Compression preserves directory structure +but not file attributes. There are no commands to update an existing +archive or to extract part of an archive. Files and archives larger than +2GB are not supported (but might work on 64-bit machines, not tested). +File names with nonprintable characters are not supported (spaces +are OK). + +WWW: http://www.cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/compression/ |
