Say you have a drive with, say, a 1GB file. this can zip it to 20MB. USE IT! :D |

I downloaded it but winzip is useless... I'll fnid some way to unzip it properly... |

Ahh, well that's why - it's lossy compression!! That means that when you compress something with it and then uncompress it, you won't end up with exactly what you started with. This could be okay for things like images, audio files, and videos, but you wouldn't want to do this with text or executables. In a text document, for example, it would eliminate certain letters in order to optimize its compression abilities.. this would not be good! In an executable, like a .EXE in the Windows world, it would probably corrupt the file so that it couldn't even run at all! They say that there's no drawbacks, so I'm beginning to think this may even be a joke. Maybe I'll try it out to see what happens. |

Insanity is the new avant-garde.
It's ok. You can't lose anything. Download it and rename the program to a .jpg. You will understand. :P |

I remember a joke in the warez community (I forgot the joke) about using winzip on 3dsmax. It almost always got a 600mb iso to like 30 some mb. Most people didn't belive it was the real thing so they would give us crap. |
