Description:
HeadShrink is a BeOS Tracker add-on which compresses the currently selected files in the Tracker using a highly efficient compression algorithm. HeadShrink compresses files into ".boz" format. boz is an acronym for Bzip2 Over Zip, a psuedo file format of my invention. The boz compression process used by HeadShrink occurs in two stages as follows: In the first stage, zip -0 (storage only, no compression) is used to archive files and directories, and their associated attributes. In the second stage, the superior compression afforded by bzip2 is used to compress the archive smaller than it could be using zip at the maximal compression setting (-9). You're not using a legacy operating system... Why use a legacy compression algorithm? You will need the Tracker add-on ExpandMe by R'alf Moll to decompress files compressed by HeadShrink.
