Thanks Marco!
magnitude of 4-5MB both in ZIP as unpacked. (compare, doc-html.zip is now
10MB
_packed_ and tens of MB's uncompressed)
Just thought I would let you know, I downloaded the doc-html.tar.gz,
extracted it, and then repacked it using 7-zip. As a solid archive I got it
down to 1.9MB!
7-zip has been around for quite some time. Maybe the releases can drop the
standard .zip and replace that with .7z
I noticed most of the .tar.gz is even smaller than the .zip archives.
Just my 2c worth... :-)
We are aware of this.
But .7z is not really a well-established standard. Even FPC doesn't have a
handler for it. By contrast, .zip is handled natively on most platforms.
Ease of use in this case supercedes compactness...
Michael.
