As a followup to my earlier posting, here are a few sample runs for
PAK v2 from Nogate. My compression claim turned out to be optimistic,
I had initially tried it out only on large files.
FILE UNCOMPR | PAK 2.0 | LHARC 1.13 | NOTES
SIZE SIZE TIME SIZE TIME
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TELIX.EXE 280032 132762 17.9 135636 24.6 Typical large .exe
SALT.DOC 220549 56424 13.9 59330 26.2 Formatted doc file
MASTER.LST 412354 175307 25.8 191649 36.2 Huge BBS filelist
(BINARIES) 232056 135439 17.0 134937 23.9 13 misc .com/.exe
(SOURCES) 142570 84170 21.0 70437 41.2 150 small src files
[Machine: 20MHz 286, large cache]
Armed with some real data you may now draw your own conclusions.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not *advocating* anything here - just passing the info :-)
