Then again, if size isn't a problem for most people, why even zip it? If
you don't, that's just one less installation step.

Hi Thomas,
I suggest bzip2, or apparently xz. gzip's compression ratios aren't
all that great.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hi Jim,
Smile. That's all? That's pretty small potatoes compared to the
current release of Mysteries of the Ancients. Beta 14 is almost 350 MB
fully installed and even compressed using Inno Setup it is around 170
MB. The Linux setup looks like it will be around 250 MB because tar
doesn't appear to have that high of compression. I'll probably have to
see if I can find a better Linux compression format like bz2 and see
if I can shrink that 250 down to something a bit smaller.
Cheers!
