BCArchive version 1.02.2. Support of old versions of PGP keys format is added. (13-January-2005)
Unfortunately, there is no way to test CTXf with a GUI, so i can't test 0.75. Usually updates of programs are just bug fixes. or some new feature which doesn't effect compression. so i avoid updating every time there is a new version. especially for WinHKI. compression has been the same for a long time, but it's been through about 20 versions. so i won't update programs it until the version number changes alot, or the compression is updated. This is because i have 7 gigs to compress each time a program changes, and it takes too long. But thanks for letting me know

I've already completed all tests with the new winuda. However i've been too lazy to update the website ;D
I would test axPAQ however it doesn't allow the compression of directories. So i can't add my tests to it.
I'm currently doing WinRK 2.0 build 5. But it's going to take some time.

OK, just letting people know:
I've updated the site with winuda 2.90.
i'm currently testing:
LHMelt (GUI for LZH variant)
IZARC 3.5 b1
WinRK 2.0 build 5
Unfortunately, i'm encountering bad problems in WinRK's PWCM mode so i will not include it in the tests. However i've been able to complete the txt english & foreign.
WinUDA 2.90: 1,100,900 1,196,871
WinRK PWCM: 1,018,022 1,209,162
PWCM is looking really good. can't wait till the bugs are sorted out.

Thanks for the update!
I have been a big fan of WinUDA since its first release . I really wish Werner would list it over at maximumcompression.com. It compresses well, but unlike most others, it also compresses at a reasonable speed. Worth a mention ANYWHERE in my opinion!!!

Dwings site (http://dwing.spymac.net/) appears to be experiencing technical difficulties at the moment. If anyone wants to try WinUDA, they can download it with the link below until Dwings site is back up again. www.geocities.com/netstore101/Downloads/winuda.zipThe zip file contains WinUDA versions 0.281 and 0.290. |

It compresses well, but unlike most others, it also compresses at a reasonable speed. Worth a mention ANYWHERE in my opinion!!! The reason he doesn't list it is because it's based off PAQ (6 or AR?) but dwing doesn't make the source code available. Or something like that. Yeah i agree it has decent speed and very good compression. I gave dwing some suggestions early on about file filters and such, which greatly improved compression in some cases (roms especially). I might fire off another email with some more suggestions. But it's been such a long time between versions, i think he's lost interest in it. Bad news. I'm having more issues with WinRK in other modes too so i'll stop testing it now until i get a new build. But i'm working with the author to fix the bugs. |

It would be a great shame if Dwing has lost interest in WinUDA. I would really like to see it developed further.

In fact I don't lose interest of UDA. So far it has all the basic functions as a compressor/archiver, and no bugs found yet. Even I don't believe it's only 18KB I will keep it slim, so many other unimportant functions can't be added. |

hey dwing good to hear from you Would it be possible to add a custom model-size? Currently mode-3 is 194 MB. If you added an option to add a custom value, i believe it would improve compression. Personally i would use 400MB. |

Hi Dwing, that's fantastic news!!! How about using something like the little trick below with WinUDA. Looking forward to seeing WinUDA take its rightful place in the near future as best file compressor. PAQ's BMP compression algo can be greatly improved simply keeping the recordmodel fixed to the width (multiplied by 3 if it's a 24bit image) of the bmp. I remember that using this simple trick my paq607fb did compress rafale approx to 615k. The above text was copied from here... www.groupsrv.com/science/about74708-105.html |
