Talk:Archive file

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suggestions for Development/Expansion

• Add specific discussion of CRC as error detection and use Winzip as an example
• Add discussion of redundancy, parsing, and fault tolerant design as error correction and use WinRAR (.RAR/.PAR) as an example

[edit] Zen

The "Zen" section is a bit obtuse. I think what it's trying to say is that an archive file format is isomorphic to a file system. But I can see one difference: a file system is more optimized for in-place modification. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 22:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
