Is there anything stronger than UHARC? I know rar, sbc, ace, cab, uhbc, jar, imp - all of them compress worse. Rk is just too slow. Anisochronous archiver is preferable.

All of them are not DOS, they all is win32![]()
They all are can run in DOS (i.e. they are not PE files) or they have latest DOS versions. Besides, there is ERI, but it seems to make arhives larger than UHARC.
To be more precise it doesn't matter which OS is used to make arhives, but there must be working unpacker/SFX for DOS.
Hello everyone,
Are you sure...?Originally Posted by Surfer
At least for some (most?) of them are pure DOS-versions avaible.
http://www.maximumcompression.com/programs.php could be a good start to find one.
ftp://ftp.elf.stuba.sk/pub/pc/pack/ is a FTP - server with good and old archivers. Have a look at it.
Best regards!

LPAQ5 is in my opinion better. It is nost as fast as UHARC but better in compression.Originally Posted by nimdamsk
LPAQ5 is opensource and for both compression and speed it exceed RK.
It works in a dos shell, and can even get the source code and compile it (with djgpp or mingw-gcc or any other compliler).

Hi,
With HX DOS Extender, you can run any Win32 console application in DOS.

Hello everyone,
AiZ is right. And there is a version of 7-zip that runs under pure DOS too (port from p7zip) without HX:

allthough kind of outdated...
Best regards!
Thanks to all for suggestions. Seems Uharc is the best true Dos archiver. But there is FreeArc and CCM and i'll try to launch them using HX DOS Extender. It will be best solution i think.
you can try to compile everything for dos extender, including even PAQOriginally Posted by nimdamsk

If you have 32 bit integers and 32 bit array indexes for arrays with hundreds of MB of memory and compile with -DNOASM (slow). Who uses DOS anymore?Originally Posted by Bulat Ziganshin
why no asm? dos extenders runs programs in 386 protected modeOriginally Posted by Matt Mahoney
Dos is useful in making boot cd. There are Live CD with Linux or Windows, but Dos based boot cd is loading much faster. There is Hiren's BootCD which uses Uharc, i want to optimise it just for fun![]()
That is why i need anisochronous archiver, ccm is the slowest program i accept for speed reasons.
if you're going to use HX, then try 7za, quad, uharc (ALZ method), GRZip, or sbc (all of them should be able to compete with uharc with assymetric setting at least up to some point IMHO). Symmetric YBS is also quite fast (~3x faster than CCM) and it has already executable for dos![]()
I suppose it could work then. But the assembler would definitely not work in 16 bit real mode.Originally Posted by Bulat Ziganshin
Paq8o8 --- Takes a massive lead in maximumcompression.com - has source so you can compile in dos mode if you want![]()
nimdamsk is looking for something faster and more asymmetric, see his first post![]()
