- Description
- An archive file format that uses lossless data compression LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain) algorithm and incorporates 32-bit CRC checksum to check data integrity of the file. Lzip supports greater compression ratios than bzip2.
- A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" using Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.
