| 1. | ZLIBC | | | Zlibc allows applications to transparently access compressed files. As soon as the application attempts to open a compressed file, zlibc uncompresses the data on the fly. No kernel patch, no recompilation of the executables nor the libraries is needed. zlibc.linux.lu |
| 2. | UPX Homepage | | | UPX homepage: the Ulitmate Packer for eXecutables. Compresses executibles on Linux and other systems. wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at |
| 3. | The bzip2 and libbzip2 home page | | | The bzip2 and libbzip2 are a portable, lossless data compressor based on the Burrows-Wheeler transform. The compression engine is also available as a library, should you desire a programmatic interface. sourceware.cygnus.com |
| 4. | Linux Development Projects | | | exepak is a Linux ELF executable packer based on the original exepak 1.1 (released 1997). It compresses Linux ELF executable files similar to pklite for DOS and unpacks them on the fly. It uses the lzo compression library and requires 200K of memory to decompress per executable. zurk.netpedia.net |
| 5. | FastJar | | | FastJar is an attempt to create a much faster replacement for Sun's 'jar' utility. Instead of being written in Java, FastJar is written in C and is around 50-100 times faster than its Java counterpart on Linux 2.2.x systems. www.engr.orst.edu |
| 6. | gzip | | | gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for 'compress'. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. The GNU Project uses it as the standard compression program for its system. www.gnu.org |
| 8. | Info-ZIP | | | A diverse, Internet-based workgroup of about 20 primary authors and over one hundred beta-testers which provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the Zip and UnZip compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP by PKWARE, Inc. www.cdrom.com |
