[ros-dev] 7-zip - holy smokes!

[Phillip Susi]

With the recent discussion about 7-zip I decided to check it out.  I 
took my project's working directory at work, which is 8.3 megs of source 
and object code, and compressed it.  Winzip on max compression got it 
down to 2.5 megs.  WinRar on max compression got it down to 2.1 megs. 
7-zip got it down to 517k!

I nearly shat myself.


I don't know how it does it, but this thing is incredible.  I think it 
definitely needs further investigation and possible use.
