- Description
- The ALZ file format is associated with ALZip, a file compression and archiving software developed by ESTsoft. An ALZ file is essentially a compressed archive that can contain one or more files and folders, making it a convenient way to reduce file size for storage or transfer. This format is particularly useful for consolidating multiple files into a single, smaller file, which can then be easily shared or archived. ALZip also supports encryption, allowing for secure storage and transfer of sensitive information.
- "Tarball" (.TAR file) compressed with .LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain Algorithm) compression, and thus uses the compound file extension ".tar.lzma;" often used for distributing linux software packages.
