Hier noch ein sehr spezielles Sammlerstück aus dem Jahre 2000. Eine kleine, zerlegbare Mini CD mit der Testversion von WinZip 8.0. Kompatibel mit Windows 95/98/NT, sowie Windows 2000/XP. Solch ein Datenträger ist heutzutage wohl extrem selten.

Viel Spaß damit!

Installing WinZip 8.1 SR-1 and WinRAR 3.71 on a virtual Windows 95. This is such a perfect example as to why I still don't consider Windows 95 to be a "retro" operating system:

Using the Windows Explorer, the long file names, the setup programs, the start menu icons and, of course, the programs themselves. A "normal" screen resolution with 16/24-bit color. Everything does look and feel pretty much identical to a modern Windows PC. Yes, all of these version numbers are a bit lower, but that's basically it. This is SO not a retro system!

So I was working on this:

enz / unz

ZIP-compatible compressor and decompressor pair that beat zip -9 on source code by 5-10%. Uses smarter pre-processing before DEFLATE.

It's often better than the alternatives for text, source code, structured text files, and markup.

Pure Go. No dependencies beyond stdlib. Output works with standard ZIP tools where possible
