- Description
- An archive file format compressed with lzop, based on the LZO (Lempel-Ziv-Oberhume) compression codec. It is similar to .Gzip but allows a higher compression ratio and faster decompression.
- 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.
