USAGE
To compress: PAQ6 -3 archive file file... (1 or more file names), or
or (MSDOS): dir/b | PAQ6 -3 archive (read file names from input)
or (UNIX): ls | PAQ6 -3 archive
To decompress: PAQ6 archive (no option)
To list contents: more < archive
Compression: The files listed are compressed and stored in the archive,
which is created. The archive must not already exist. File names may
specify a path, which is stored. If there are no file names on the command
line, then PAQ6 prompts for them, reading until the first blank line or
end of file.
The -3 is optional, and is used to trade off compression vs. speed
and memory. Valid options are -0 to -9. Higher numbers compress better
but run slower and use more memory. -3 is the default, and gives a
reasonable tradeoff. Recommended options are:
-0 to -2 for fast (2X over -3) but poor compression, uses 2-6 MB memory
-3 for reasonably fast and good compression, uses 18 MB (default)
-4 better compression but 3.5X slower, uses 64 MB
-5 slightly better compression, 6X slower than -3, uses 154 MB
-6 about like -5, uses 202 MB memory
-7 to -9 use 404 MB, 808 MB, 1616 MB, about the same speed as -5
Decompression: No file names are specified. The archive must exist.
If a path is stored, the file is extracted to the appropriate directory,
which must exist. PAQ6 does not create directories. If the file to be
extracted already exists, it is not replaced; rather it is compared with
the archived file, and the offset of the first difference is reported.
The decompressor requires as much memory as was used to compress.
There is no option.
It is not possible to add, remove, or update files in an existing archive.
If you want to do this, extract the files, delete the archive, and
create a new archive with just the files you want.
