- 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.
- 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.
