Solid Archives

An archive in which all of the stored files are compressed in a single operation is called a 'solid' archive. Solid archives are better at compressing small files because they give the compression algorithm more data to work with.

dcZip offers the following 'solid' archive options...

  • tgz
  • tbz
  • zip.gz
  • zip.bz

Note: zip.gz archives can be opened in WinZip.
