LZMA Utils is an attempt to provide LZMA compression to POSIX-like
systems. The idea is to have a gzip-like command line tool and
zlib-like library, which would make it easy to adapt the new
compression technology to existing applications.

tbb version of the par2cmdline tool.
par2cmdline is a program for creating and using PAR2 files to detect
damage in data files and repair them if necessary. It can be used with
any kind of file. Par files are especially popular on Usenet.

provides the ability to deal with POSIX tar(1) archive files. The
implementation is based heavily on Mauricio Fernández's implementation
in rpa-base, but has been reorganised to promote reuse in other projects.
The library can only handle files and directories at this point.
The command line utility, minitar, can only create archives, extract from
archives, and list archive contents.
WWW: http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruwiki/
All common archive types are supported. RPM and ISO are handled without
rpm or isodump executables.

as a PHP-oriented equivalent of the Java jar format. As jar, PHK allows to
distribute and run a library or an application as a single file.
The PHK accelerator transparently makes PHK runtime faster.

This package allows you to create, and extract tar archives.
Since the package uses InputStream and OutputStream, it is possible
to combine this package with the java.util.zip package to handle
.tar.gz files.

Simple command line implementation of PPMD compression algorithm. It
is based on code by Dmitry Shkarin (archivers/ppmd) but reworked by
Igor Pavlov and bundled with 7zip.

class for manipulating self-contained PHP Archive (phar) files.
The Phar class can be used to create and to extract contents of
phar files as well as iterating over their contents.
PHP Archive files (Phars) are special collections of files that
can be transparently run right out of the file, similar to Java's
jar archive files. Using a phar archive, it is possible to distribute
a complete PHP application in a single file that will run out of the
file without modification or extraction.

grzip is a high-performance file compressor based on Burrows-Wheeler
Transform, Schindler Transform, Move-To-Front, and Weighted Frequency
Counting. It uses the Block-Sorting Lossless Data Compression Algorithm,
which has received considerable attention in recent years for both its
simplicity and effectiveness. This implementation has a compression rate
of 2.234 bps on the Calgary Corpus (14 files) without preprocessing
filters.

KBackup is a program that lets you back up any directories or files, whereby it
uses an easy to use directory tree to select the things to back up.
The program was designed to be very simple in its use so that it can be used by
non-computer experts.
The storage format is the well known TAR format, whereby the data is still
stored in compressed format (bzip2 or gzip).
It also includes a german, french, italian, slovak and russian translation for
the user interface and an english, french and german handbook.
