Tests on what archive format to use

davidsplash

it would be nice to have a rough list of tests to tell us what archive format to use as on image files music etc. it would help the novice user.

in most cases you should use 7ZIp for high compression ratio

if you want to distribute something you should use ZIP for compatibility reasons

… if you want to distribute something you should use ZIP for compatibility reasons

if you want to distribute something it is better to use
SFX Archives (ZIP or CAB)
because PA can create ZIP - archives,
which are not supported by all archivers…

I recommend using CAB SFX, because
"With CAB format, you can get much better compression rates than ZIP format."

Thanks!
