[gentoo-user] OT Best way to compress files with digits

2014-10-31 Thread meino . cramer
Hi, I have a lot of files with digits of PI. The digits are the characters of 0-9. Currently they are ZIPped, which I think is not the best way to do that. I read of 7zips PPMd which compresses natural text quite well...but my files are not natural text (as they are also no binary data).
