Bzip2 does not compress better than RAR or LZMA, at least with my test corpus. See http://www.malayter.com/compressiontest.html 7-zip (using LZMA) produced the smalles files in this test, followed by RAR. bzip produced files 30% larger than 7-zip. -- RPM ========================= All problems can be solved by diplomacy, but violence and treachery are equally effective, and more fun. -Anonymous _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
