- palaiologos 2y agoHi, tool author here! Regarding your first remark: high ratio data compression has its time and place, and I personally understand that to many people it is not very desirable. In a lot of scenarios something as plain and simple as LZ4 generally suffices. On the other hand, there is an unofficial (= unsupported) port of bzip3 to older (386+) machines that run MS-DOS6.22. I have prepared it for a retrocomputing meeting in Ontario that I attended a while back. Let me know what you think :). https://github.com/kspalaiologos/dev-urandom/blob/main/dos/BZIP3.EXE https://github.com/kspalaiologos/dev-urandom/blob/main/dos/B...
