- Description
- MBR was introduced by IBM PC. It is called Master Boot Record as it's a unique boot sector found at the beginning of a drive. It stores the OS boot loader and information on the drive's logical 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.
