VelcroFly was developed in the Java programming language as a handy and very easy-to-use ZIP utility.
It supports the creation of Matryoshka-style nested ZIP archives, which in some cases reduces the file size up to 40% better than unnested zip archives.
Here are some key features of "VelcroFly":
· Zips directories or files with or without including hidden files.
· Supports Matryoshka-style nested zipping. The inner zip file is used to combine all files into one single archive (without compressing them). The outer zip file compresses the inner archive as a whole. Packing a large number of similar files using this method may reduce the overall size of a zip archive by up to 40 %.
· Nested zip files are compatible with existing zip programs. The only difference is that unpacking involves two steps: first unpack the outer zip archive then the inner.
· Decompresses the following formats: zip, nested.zip, tar, tar.gz.
Requirements:
· Java
