Compression Utilities
Archiving utilities allow an individual to
compress/decompress files, making them smaller for uploading, downloading, putting on
disk, etc. To decompress the file, you usually need a decompression program of the same
format, to expand the files and make them usable again. There are many different formats
of compression which vary in popularity. Currently ZIP is the most popular, but other
formats such as ARJ, RAR, and even LHA and ARC have their adherents.
