| Description | A compressed file-archive file format. Zip files can store several files (and even directories of files) and compress them to sizes much smaller the original. text files and databases frequently achieve 90% compression ratios, but other files generally compress to only 4/5ths of their original size. Zip was originally developed by PKWare but is now an industry standard. |
