EGG (ALZip)

EGG is an archiving format that is native to newer versions of the ALZip archiver software, which also supports a number of other formats (including the ALZ format of earlier ALZip versions).

The makers of ALZip claim various advantages of EGG, including Unicode support and efficient compression which takes advantage of the similarities of data in multiple files in the same archive.
