File compression |
|
This makes computer data smaller so less is needed to represent the same information and, consequently, the information takes up less disk or file space and may be transmitted in less time. Files which contain more sophisticated data such as those to produce audio, video, JAVA, VRML, Shockwave and other multimedia are usually compressed quite thoroughly before made accessible over the Internet. Many shareware or freeware programs found on the Internet come compressed in one of many different formats like .ZIP, .HQX, .BIN or in a self-extracting EXE form. Programs such as StuffIt are available to make the decompression of a compressed file easy and fast. |
