- INTRODUCTION
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- AIN is a new archiver, in most cases superior to the known existing simi-
- lar products in respect of the data compression rate and speed of operation.
- These advantages become really obvious when archiving large numbers of one-
- type files (e.g. files containing source texts of a program's different
- modules, or financial documents referring to various periods of company's
- activities). In such cases, more often than not, it provides 1.5 - 2 times
- better results than the commonly used ARJ 2.42 and PKZIP 2.04c. See below
- comparisson results of AIN 2.2, ARJ 2.41 and PKZIP 2.04c which has features
- closest to AIN 2.2, when processing files of different types.
-
- As far as the number of implemented functions, commands and options
- mnemonics are concerned, AIN 2.2. is very close to ARJ 2.30
