Re: The true potential of the LZX compression algorithm

Thank you for your replies! So, the logic of Microsoft is clear: to think about the money, not about the users. Sad. Very sad. They could make a DECOMPRESSION support, at least. But nope, money is more important for them. P.S. Wimlib rules! It's not like those M$ products, it's really cool! Thanx ag...

Re: The true potential of the LZX compression algorithm

CAB has an advantage in compression ratio because it doesn't divide the data into independently decompressible chunks, whereas WIM does. But if you don't need independently decompressible chunks, you might as well use LZMS compression with its much larger chunks. Hm... I don't think that is quite c...

Re: The true potential of the LZX compression algorithm

Because that's the only LZX setting that's compatible with Microsoft's WIM software (WIMGAPI, DISM, ImageX). Very strange politics of Microsoft... VERY strange. Why don't they use all the power of LXZ? Is it again some kind of stupid marketing? If you don't mind your archives being compatible with ...

The true potential of the LZX compression algorithm

Hi everyone! I have made a few compression tests and was VERY surprised. I took my favorite portable version of Yet Another Terminal 2.0.0 (61 files) and tried to compress it in different ways. Here's my results. Uncompressed data: 17 713 398 bytes in 61 files. 7-Zip v18.05 ZIP (Deflate) Ultra compr...
