Re: [OT] Re: zip on Linux (or any other *nix)
Alright, I just had to respond to this and correct a misconception or
two and before someone mentions Nazis... :)
I've been using gzip from way back and more recently bzip2.
Before that there was "compress" and "pack". compress was tighter than
pack and pack was a throwback to the 70's mainframes, perhaps earlier.
pack also has a friend called pcat as well as unpack.
Generally:
.z a file compressed with "pack"
.Z a file compressed with "compress"
.gz a file compressed with "gzip"
.bz2 a file compressed with "bzip2"
Check out the man pages.

Using most tar commands, you can select out individual files. Some are
easier than others. The "-w" switch on Solaris tar asks the user what
action should be taken when it encounters the file.
I've never extracted a single file from a tar bundle, never really
wanted to, but it can be done.

Totally incorrect! bzip2 is streamable. Do it all the time myself.
For instance, amaze your friends:
tar cvf - . | bzip - > /tmp/somefile.tar.bz2
Works like:
tar cvf - . | gzip - > /tmp/somefile.tar.gz
To uncompress...
bzcat /tmp/somefile.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
Little known fact, one can make a link:
ln gzip gzcat
Then one can use gzip like zcat.
gzcat /tmp/somefile.tar.gz | tar xvf -

A very good point. That's what I've done with most of them.
Facts:
1. Compressing takes a lot of time no matter what compression you use.
2. Uncompressing is much faster than compressing using any utility you
care to.
3. The tighter the compression the more time it takes to compress, again
no matter what utility you use.
4. Since most people uncompress archives on the Internet as opposed to
compressing them - usually done when a distribution is built, and lots
of people want archives to download as fast as possible so... it makes
sense to use the tightest compression possible for saving bandwidth
and disk space (and I know disk is cheap).
5. "unzip" is available as source and builds nicely on most *nixes.
(though I'm no particular fan, but Sun even distributes some patches
this way)
6. Compression is one of the many operations which slows down data
encryption. Generally data is compressed then encrypted so it is
less vulnerable to cracking.
AFAIK, most Winows unzipware is able to read gzipped tar files. If
yours doesn't then perhaps upgrade. Or, an alternative is to use
CYGWIN.
I happen to have found my VMWare Windows 2000 instance useful for "self
extracting archives" which are .exe files, in addition to running Quicken.
Happy packing, compressing, gzipping, bzipping, pkzipping and zipping
around in general... :)
Now let's get back to Ruby.
