File Spanning is a term used to describe the ability to package a single file or data stream into separate files of a specified size. It also implies the ability to re combine the package files back into the original file or data stream. This is useful when saving large files onto smaller volumes or breaking large files up into smaller files for network messages of limited size email, newsgroups . It also allows the creation of parity file s such as parity archive PAR to verify and restore missing or corrupted package files. Sometimes the file spanning process is hidden as a secondary operation such as with file archivers . In this case, many smaller files are first packaged into a data stream and then repackaged into a multi file archive. File Spanning Software Hundreds or thousands of file spanning utilities are available for nearly every OS and platform.

unreferenced date May 2010 A self extracting archive SFX for short verify source date December 2011 is a computer application software application which contains a archive file file archive , as well as programming to extract this information. Such file archives do not require a second executable file or program to extract from the archive, as archive files usually require. The files in an archive can thus be extracted by anyone, whether they possess the appropriate decompression program or not, as long as the program can run on their computer platform . The original purpose for the self extracting archive was to allow the distribution of tools for extracting and adding member files to an archive file. The situation otherwise, in effect, represents a chicken and egg problem in order to use an archive file, the user requires a de archiver program, which they have to be able to get onto their computer. If the de archiver program was simply a single executable with no other files, it would be possible to simply download that one file, then execute it. But if the means to unarchive files required, say, an executable program and several libraries, there would be no way to obtain them as a single download or executable which could be installed unless the unarchiver program itself along with accompanying files were a self extracting archive. Several programs can create self extracting archives. For Microsoft Windows Windows there are WinZip , WinRAR , 7 Zip , KGB Archiver , and the built in IExpress wizard. For Macintosh there are StuffIt , The Unarchiver , and 7zX. There are also programs that create self extracting archives on Unix as shell scripts which utilizes programs like tar and gzip which must be present in destination system . Others like 7 Zip or RAR can create self extracting archives as regular executables in Executable and linkable format ELF format. An early example of a self extracting archive was the Unix shar archive, in which one or more text files were ... more details
unreferenced date January 2011 A file archiver is a computer program that combines a number of computer file files together into one archive file , or a series of archive files, for easier transportation or storage. Many file archivers employ archive format s that provide lossless data compression to reduce the size of the archive which is often useful for transferring a large number of individual files over a high latency network like the Internet. The most basic archivers just take a list of files and concatenate their contents sequentially into the archive. In addition the archive must also contain some information about at least the names and lengths of the originals, so that proper reconstruction is possible. Most archivers also store metadata about a file that the operating system provides, such as timestamps, ownership and access control. The process of making an archive file is called archiving or packing . Reconstructing the original files from the archive is termed unarchiving , unpacking or extracting . Discussion Unix Archiver Tools Unlike integrated archival and compression tools like PKZIP , WinZip , and WinRAR , the Unix tools ar Unix ar , tar file format tar , cpio for archiver , tape archiver and copy in out respectively act as archivers but not compressors. Users of the Unix tools typically add compression by compressing the result of packing and uncompressing before unpacking , most often using the gzip or bzip2 programs. Modern tar programs can automatically invoke a de compression program, giving the appearance that tar itself handles compression and decompression. This approach has two advantages It follows the Unix philosophy Unix toolbox concept that each program should accomplish a single, well done task, as opposed to attempting to accomplish everything with one tool. As compression technology progresses, users may use different compression programs without having to modify or abandon their archiver. The archives use solid compression . Unl ... more details
VGM V ideo G ame M usic is an audio format for multiple video game platforms, such as Sega s Sega Master System Master System , Sega Game Gear Game Gear , Sega Mega Drive Sega Genesis Mega Drive Genesis , SG 1000 Mark III , MSX , NeoGeo and many others. The normal filename extension is .vgm , but files can also be Gzip compressed into .vgz files. Technically, .vgz files should be named .vgm.gz , but because some popular operating system s file manager s cannot handle file name suffixes that themselves contain a dot, .vgz is used in order to launch a VGM player e.g. Winamp with the proper Plug in computing plugin and not a data compression program such as WinZip or WinRAR . On November 20, 2005, VGM 1.50 was officially announced, and a new version of the input plugin released. The new version of the format now supports pulse code modulation PCM Optimization computer science optimization for the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip , which makes sound files using the chip a lot smaller sometimes with over 75 of size reduction. The first YM2612 VGM archive, Project 2612, optimized all of its packages soon after. As of May 6, 2011, the official VGM specification was updated from version 1.50 to 1.60 the following non exhaustive list details each new change Version 1.51 changes unofficial update The 1.51 spec sheet documents that this version is compatible with the 1.50 specification with exception of the dual chip support , but Maxim s in vgm Winamp plugin still exhibits issues when utilized.
