It does not do zip as a zip itself has +more complexity than is needed, and it was much simpler to impliment this once here. + +Eet is extremely fast, small and simple. Eet files can be very small and highly +compressed, making them very optimal for just sending across the internet without +having to archive, compress or decompress and install them. They allow for +lightning-fast random-acess reads once created, making them perfect for storing data +that is written once (or rarely) and read many times, but the program does not want +to have to read it all in at once. + +It also can encode and decode data structures in memory, as well as image data for +saving to Eet files or sending across the network to other machines, or just writing +to arbitary files on the system. All data is encoded in a platform independant way +and can be written and read by any architecture. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
