KZip: Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, or PPMd?
- Which Zip specification does KZip follow?
Deflate (also referred to as "2.0")
Deflate64 (also referred to as "4.5")
BZip2 (also referred to as "6.0")
PPMd (invented by WinZip)
The reason I ask is that I'd like to know which are the exact requirements to open Zip archives generated by KZip. And you can't determine what kind of Zip it is by simply looking at it, unfortunately!
Thanks,
Mathias - KZIP uses only "Deflate". I would never use any of the other methods you mentioned because they are not compatible with all Zip software.
