Idea to save questions

[davidsplash]

it wold be nice as it happened rectly to list the pros and cons of each archive format on this website.

This is cause you recently had a person ask a question about cab files only to find he had reached the cab file size limit.

I know that there is limits to many formats that if only listed could save a lot of questions about them.

nice idea, maybe we can find some useful google links

the pros and cons

Or at least the limitations (cons?).

Even better, include all this information in the Help file.
Updating as support changes in PowerArchiver (and PACL).

Then everyone would know - not just those who come here.

here are 2 good websites

http://compression.ca/

Yes, unforunately, neither site gives the format specific “pros and cons” davidsplash referred to. Nor do they cover all the formats available in PA.
