My result of zlib and bzip2
it seems that the bz2 version NSIS is good for many text files
for example nsis191 developer kit itself including many c source files.
and the zlib version NSIS is good for excutable files
for example , only makensis.exe only.

The only comparison I want to see is in size. I could create one if you like.

Please
use
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...l/htmlhelp.exe
and
http://www.php.net/do_download.php?d...p-4.1.0.tar.gz
as the sample
the first includes nearly all exe and dll file
the second includes a lot of cpp source

I 'll do a comparison tonight too.
Let's compare our result.

Hi,

My PPWIZARD download just dropped from
1460 to 750K just by using bzip2! Am I happy or what?

There are a lot of HTML files in the download.

Now if only I didn't have to choose between the 2 compilers (and the compiler made the choice on compression - at least an option)...

Bye,
Dennis
