Lempel-Ziv-Markov-Algorithm edit
Compression algorithm [
1], much better compression ratios than
zip or
bzip2. The base libraries available under
CPL,
LGPL with exceptions that allow you to link statically the libraries as long as they are unmodified. There is a proprietary license available as well. Would be interesting to have
tclkit version that supports this compression format.
LZMA SDK edit
A software development kit [
2] is available for
Windows and
Linux, supporting
C++, ANSI
C (decompression only),
C#, and
Java.
There is a
Python binding available [
3], but development seems stalled.
LZMA Utils [
4] seems to be an attempt to bring this algorithm into shape to be compatible with commonly known command line tools like
gzip and
bzip2. Furthermore it provides a decompression only library with a
zlib-like interface.
The first and most prominent user is the
7z archive format [
5].
