    its not just the software you are using, but word size and so many other facts are there.
    for example, even winrar, with wrong settings, can do a bad compression than windows compression

    :lol: missed that point :D
    machan i've used a software that compressed a game CD into a 64kb. but don't remember the name :sorry:

    even that kinda compresion is possible. but you will have to wait days to compress, half that time to decompress :baffled:
