7-Zip and its compression formats.

Hello everybody.

I'm sure that you remember my post about Automation of checking digital archives (RAR, ZIP and ARJ formats). Somebody forget that great zip-tool 7-Zip can't create RAR archive, it can only decompress such archive. For you memory I write below the table about formats from Z-Zip handbook.

Format	Compressing	Decompressing	Filename Extensions
7z	X	X	7z
XZ	X	X	xz
ZIP	X	X	zip
GZIP	X	X	gz gzip tgz
BZIP2	X	X	bz2 bzip2 tbz2 tbz
TAR	X	X	tar
WIM	X	X	wim swm
LZMA		X	lzma
RAR		X	rar
CAB		X	cab
ARJ		X	arj
Z		X	z taz
CPIO		X	cpio
RPM		X	rpm
DEB		X	deb
LZH		X	lzh lha
SPLIT		X	001 002 ...
CHM		X	chm chw hxs
ISO		X	iso
UDF		X	iso
COMPOUND		X	msi doc xls ppt
DMG		X	dmg
XAR		X	xar
HFS		X	hfs
NSIS		X	exe
NTFS		X	ntfs
FAT		X	fat
VHD		X	vhd
MBR		X	mbr
SquashFS		X	squashfs
CramFS		X	cramfs

So, yesterday I found another interesting feature in 7-Zip. 7-Zip use different list of compression formats  for File and for Folder with files. Why? I don't know now, I'll try to resolve this my news later.

See you later.
