Now, what is the best compression program?.</B>
A. That depends on your definition of 'best'. Globally speaking there
are three kind of compressors / archivers.

the best possible compression, are WinRK (using PWCM mode), PAQ8, PAQAR,
Durilca and SLIM. At the moment WinRK (PWCM) and PAQ8 are the two best
compressors of the five, but they are also much slower then Durilca and SLIM
(to give you an idea; PAQAR in -8 mode does about 5-7 KB/s on a slightly
overclocked AMD Barton 2800+). If you have files with embedded images (e.g. Word DOC files)
use PAQ8, it will recognize them and separately compress them, boosting
compression significantly. Also note all mentioned programs with the exception
of WinRK are free of cost.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/5C491168-AE49-4324-B54A-E0BF066ADB1B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
