I love it when there is this sort of coincidence.[^]

One of my favorite tasks are when they tell you do the A functionality in X project like its done in the Y project. And no one cares that the Y project is c#, X is c++ and the Y project uses for that functionality few free libraries and no one tells you how to do it

Dash my buttons! I've been using 7z for a long time and I use it for my important end-of-day backups. I recently tried experimenting with WinRar's command line offering, rar.exe. Using the same input folder and with maximum compression rar.exe compressed the input to about 247Mb. I then compared that to 7z's file which I do with normal compression; 7z's file is 78Mb.
I only wanted to look at WinRar because 7z doesn't play nicely if I try and extract multiple archives at the same time. Under some circumstances, 7z locks up if I do. But really, 247Mb v 78Mb is a good endorsement for 7z. I can live with 7z's odd behaviour.

One thing I would ask is... Is 7z making a solid archive, whilst you rar was making un-solid archive? I use rar over WinZip as I found rar with solid archive turned on makes a far smaller file than WinZip could.
Also what size dictionaries were you using?
|

That's interesting. I've not changed the dictionary sizes in either. I will see if there's a comparable setting in each and compare them and, if different, I'll repeat the test with them set the same.
I think I might have seen a reference to the "solid archive" in the command line options. I'll also investigate that as well. Thanks for the pointers.

What did you go with the a in sea?

"is said" is a hint that there's a homophone involved.
I.e. something that has an analogous sound.
