ZIP is a very popular compression algorithm that comes in various different "dialects" and is being used in many applications. |
|||
=== gzip === |
|||
gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for compress. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. It has been adopted by the [[GNU]] project and is now relatively popular on the Internet. gzip was written by Jean-loup Gailly (jloup@gzip.org), and Mark Adler for the decompression code. |
|||
gzip produces files with a .gz extension. gunzip can decompress files created by gzip, compress or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic. |
|||
The format of the .gz files generated by gzip is described in [[RFC]]s (Request For Comments) [ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/documents/zlib/zdoc-index.html 1951 and 1952]. |

|||
In a marketing tactic used primarily by [[spyware]] and adware companies, Google has begun bundling its Google Toolbar and Desktop Search software with the popular WinZip archive utility. The move comes as Google begins to expand its bundling effort with a number of leading software applications. |
|||
WinZip quietly updated its download executable last week, which now weighs in at close to 4MB with the added Google tools. Users are given the opportunity to opt out of installing the Google software on the first WinZip setup screen; by default the tools are installed. |
