Advanced Compressor (Nanozip)

[panker1992]

Intro Nanozip

Nanozip is by the far the program that i still try to figure out,
the reason follows in the diagram below.
as you can see it features many switches that manipulate different algos



Options Alg
--------- ----
-cf LZP = fast comp/decomp
-cF LZP = fast comp/decomp improved
-cd lz77 = pretty tight comp very close to lzma if not identical
-cD lz77 = pretty tight comp very close to lzma improved
-cdP lz77 = parallel comp identical to xz method i originally posted in the forum
-cDP lz77 = parallel comp identical to xz method improved
-co BWT = best compression with fastest decom
-cO BWT = best compression with fastest decom imporved
-cc CM = *Ultimate Compression* extremely slow



Positives:
1) It has better ratio over lzma
example: i compressed MGS V into 11.7G without reflate and with precomp set to intense overall it took 5~6 hours to compress and 1 and a half hours to decompress
2) It can be used atop of lzma algo YES you can do lzma and then nz on top :P
3) It takes less ram to Compress you can get better ratio than lzma with 2G dictionary
4) Supports multicore systems in both comp/decomp
5) Can be used with masked compression for greater results

Negatives:
1) It takes the same amount of ram to decomp as it takes to compress
2) its decomp speed is around 10m/sec in -cc and arund 50m/sec in -cO
you will lose some ratio but its worth with that speed
3) it's progress cannot be seen in Inno though it works flawlessly
4) it lucks stdin and stdout
