Compression is not archiving but almost any archival tool makes compression. I mean, besides collecting multiple files together into a single file for easier storage or transfer each archive usually contains a compressing component. The question is: could all these libraries be components of an archiving tool ? Regarding files transfer via email I am not interested in encryption because my files usually contain numbers (that are not easy to understand even for a specialist) but of course the size is important considering the attachment size limitations. Personally, I archive files when I have over two or when they exceed 10Mb in size. But returning to the compressing benefit, I wondered if it is possible to attach a compressed file and sending it to a customer that has possibility to decompress it properly. Finally, it would be useful to know what other uses has compression itself. Thank you all.
