Compression + archiving

(Multiple files => 1 file, makes it smaller)

Archiving only

(many files => 1 file, no compression attempted)

  • BinHex (.hqx)
  • LBR (.lbr)
  • Tape Archive (.tar)
  • AR file format (.a, .lib) -- Unix Archiver (ar) format as used by various compilers/linkers
  • CPIO (.cpio)

Compression only

(1 file => 1 file, makes it smaller)
