In early June 1994 the Shareware product CRUSH 1.0 will be released as
CRUSH1.ZIP. This program can work with your existing archiver to
dramatically improve compression. In a block test of 128 directories
containing 2349 wordprocessing files (total 17 Megabytes), CRUSH generated
the following performance figures (each directory was compressed to its
own archive file):
Ratio
CRUSH+HA ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 7.95
CRUSH+PKZIP ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 7.82
CRUSH+LHA ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 5.46
HA 0.98 ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 4.32
LHA 2.11 ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 4.12
PKZIP 2.04g ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 4.11
Stacker 4.0 ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 2.50
DoubleSpace ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 1.90
Orig Files ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ 1.00
All archivers were run with maximum compression, except CRUSH which was
set to minimum. The figures for Stacker and DoubleSpace are generally
quoted performance figures for comparison, not test results. All the
figures above quote the compression ratio in terms of disk space used
rather than actual file sizes (8k cluster assumed) to allow comparison
with Stacker 4.0. This does not significantly effect the comparison
between the other archivers.
CRUSH will work with PKZIP, ARJ, LHA, ZOO and HA with very little overhead
in time. CRUSH also allows the user to perform more convenient archiving
operations than these programs offer when used alone.
***** Forthcoming products!
Look out for WINCRUSH which will provide CRUSH for Windows, for release
Summer 1994.
