Fastest unZIP on 030?

Amiga1992 · 03 October 2010, 01:45

I am trying to gather the best set of decompressing tools I can for my 030@50 (I even have an FPU if that helps the case).

Noticeably, the unZIP you can find on Aminet is mighty slow, much slower than LHA.

Are there any other options?

Cheers!

you can decompress zip files using xad master package...it is a bit faster than unzip

No idea how fast it is. I Zipped up Simon CD32 on PC, FTP that to amiga and used the Amiga to unzip that. If I remember Simon CD32 (from disc) was about 200meg with many files. Only took 11 minutes to unzip it. Which I thought was good for a 030 really. Using unzip

OK beaten to the post twice

(tested on a 5Mb zipped file in ram)
