Copyright Introduction
VelcroFly is a compression and decompression tool. It supports the creation of Matryoshka-style
nested zip archives, which reduces the file size up to 40 % better than unnested
zip archives.
- Zips directories or files with or without including hidden files.
- Supports Matryoshka-style nested zipping. The inner zip file is used to combine
all files into one single archive (whithout compressing them). The outer
zip file compresses the inner archive as a whole. Compress a large number
of similar files using this method may reduce the overall size of a zip archive
by up to 40 %.
Nested zip files are compatible with existing zip programs. The only difference
is that decompressing involves two steps: first decompress the outer zip
archive then the inner.
- Decompresses the following file formats: zip, nested.zip, tar, tar.gz
