VelcroFly Description

Create nested Zip archives which can be much smaller than ordinary Zip archives VelcroFly creates nested Zip archives which can be much smaller than ordinary Zip archives.VelcroFly takes advantage of the fact that the entropy of many similar files is smaller than the entropy of each individual file on its own.VelcroFly supports the creation of Matryoshka-style nested zip archives, which in certain cases will reduce the file size up to 40% when compared to untested zip archives. Here are some key features of "VelcroFly": · Zips directories or files with or without including hidden files. · Supports Matryoshka-style nested zipping. The inner zip file is used to combine all files into one single archive (whithout compressing them). The outer zip file compresses the inner archive as a whole. Packing a large number of similar files using this method may reduce the overall size of a zip archive by up to 40 %. · Nested zip files are compatible with existing zip programs. The only difference is that unpacking involves two steps: first unpack the outer zip archive then the inner. · Decompresses the following formats: zip, nested.zip, tar, tar.gz.
