But that is not a help system. It is a solid archive. If I have to depack first it lasts a minute and contains 150MB on disk (first column) > I don't have the LCL help local. Like I said, I have not seen > anything beat 7-zip yet. ;-) Great, I can't wait till you submit a patch that turns it into a helpsystem. It is not a comparison of archivers, but what to do with the helpsystem. And size is not the only parameter. (native compressor/decompressors are too, so that it can be used in installers that don't need external dlls/.so's that are potentially not installed or distro specific) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
