- Description
- GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the standard format used to define the partitions of computer storage devices like hard disks using globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). It is also used on some BIOS systems to replace the early version master boot record (MBR) method, which supported up to 2.2TB partitions. GPT supports up to 18 Terabytes partitions.
- WinZip, starting with version 12.1, uses the extension .zipx for ZIP files that use compression methods newer than DEFLATE; specifically, methods BZip, LZMA, PPMd, Jpeg and Wavpack. The last 2 are applied to appropriate file types when "Best method" compression is selected.
