- Description
- StuffIt Archive (.sit) is a compressed archive format originally developed for the classic Mac OS. It bundles multiple files into a single archive while compressing them and preserving Mac-specific data such as resource forks. It was long the standard way to distribute and store files on the Macintosh platform.
- 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.
