Top Document: comp.compression Frequently Asked Questions (part 1/3)
There is a distinction between archivers and other compression programs: - an archiver takes several input files, compresses them and produces a single archive file. Examples are arc, arj, lha, zip, zoo. - other compression programs create one compressed file for each input file. Examples are freeze, yabba, compress, gzip. Such programs are often combined with tar to create compressed archives (see question 50: "What is this tar compression program?"). For a comparison of zip and gzip, see the gzip README file. (In short: zip is an archiver, gzip is not; only zip is compatible with pkzip.)
