The File Compression Utility

MobyExplorer also comes with a built in utility to compress files using the effective Gzip/Gunzip algorithm. This can be used to save valuable space on the file system, or to save bandwidth before transferring a file using the FTP client.

Compatible with desktop computers
GZipped files can be read by most common compression tools on Windows/Linux/Mac platforms.

Easy to use
Compressing a file is easy: just highlight the file and use the menu to choose
Pack->GZip.
Uncompressing is done in the same way but choosing Pack->Gunzip instead.

Multiple files
The file compression utility supports compressing multiple files simultaneously. Just click once on each file you want to compress to mark them, and then use the menu to zip or unzip them.

Efficient compression algorithm
The GZip algorithm produces a compression ratio which is equal to, or better than, most other compression algorithms.
The compression ratio achieved when compressing a file will depend on the file type. Text files usually can get a very high compression ratio, while as for example picture files usually are already compressed, so only a small compression ratio can be achieved.
