AIAB Future version archive format

[MadAngus]

Future version archive format:

As MS-Windows uses the CR+LF characters and AmigaOS and *Nix uses just the LF characters, there would possibly be two archive distributions zip and exe for windows, and tar.gz Or lha for Amiga and *Nix.

So the question is tar.gz Or lha for the LF only files. Ooorrr, I could just use zip archive for these with a .LF prefix to the filename e.g.*.LF.zip.


Thought I'd get this question out the way while it's in my head. Yes I do lose questions, they have a sneaky habit of escaping through my ears, little blighters.

Ideas are worse because they are like radiation and bounce of the brain cells leaving a residual trace, however this trace in some instance has a half life of 'I had it a split second ago', and then its gone.

Id say stick with 7zip for windows. Lha for amiga.

I'll go with the default formats:

LHA for Amiga and *Nix
and
ZIP for Windows

The difference between 7z and zip in these archives and their sizes are negligible. Zip is easier for most Windows users.

I dissagree, zip sucks. 7zip is much better, you tried maximum compression?
