well you see this , i have an archive that is 2.14 MB but it expands to 550+ MB .
it contains Office 2007 Beta .
it was compressed using KGB archiver .

Well what u said is rght but i dnt understand anything what u said

@ rakesh the mdf images store only the file structures not the entire data...

and u can try kgbarchiver n 7zip for better compression....

the 257 MB of GTA VC which u have seen is called ripped version of original vice city which are illegal........ in ripped versions many things are missing for example the cutscenes, backgrond music, startup videos etc, that is why their size becomes very small after compression.

One confusion sir!
Does that mean that use of KGB archeiver is Illegal???
(I feel no, but still will be satisfied if you will tell me!)
Thank You!

Nah it aint illegal...

Games have bloat data too, and easily compressible

led_shankar · 19-08-2006, 09:33 PM

omg does it actually work this well? And d'u ppl think it'll work on a tablet PC with 3Ghz and 512 MB RAM (i'm pessimistic)?

go_gamez · 19-08-2006, 10:50 PM

Hey Whats ... A Tablet Pc...sorry Guys..i Ve Heard About..but Frnakly Spkin Dnt Knw Any Thin Abt It ??

ninad_mhatre85 · 19-08-2006, 10:56 PM

i got that version of GTA VC 257 mb i d/w from local lan ....most of the times there is useless stuff with some other name ...thats way i didnt install it but i will try now.....

led_shankar · 19-08-2006, 11:02 PM

well, thanks guys, but problem solved, I tried it. It does work (i got a 55.5% compression on a 31MB pdf file)

QwertyManiac · 19-08-2006, 11:09 PM

@go_gamez - Thats awesome man! Read newspapers, Tablet PCs are ultra portable light weight PCs. They aint got to be folded like lappies and are just like a drawing pad.

@led_shankar - I dont see why not, but the app must support the os maybe ?

QwertyManiac · 19-08-2006, 11:39 PM

Not knowing it, well they aint really popular though. Toshiba has the best ones out there I heard, its only for the platinum rich

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tablet_PC Some good model pics there... Linux too

led_shankar · 19-08-2006, 11:44 PM

@go_gamez: A tablet PC (the wikipedia article has a pic of the exact same model as the one i'm using, rofl) looks like a notebook, but it has a pen-like stylus with which you can scribble on the display surface; and it will read input from this stylus. I think Digit had a 'whatever happened to' article on the Tablet PC sometime back.

Now, before anyone starts calling me 'ameer baap ka bigda hua ladka', bear in mind that I do not OWN it, but it's from my Mother's office, rented for a temporary period only.

@QwertyManiac (It's so much fun typing your nickname

) : I asked that because I read that KGB takes a lot of resources, and that Tablets are strained for resources. THANKS though

go_gamez · 19-08-2006, 11:51 PM

@qwertymaniac..i really like u r nick.../name...does it mean something..or relate..to??anywayz ...thanx for the info...

@led_shankar... thanx to u too..

led_shankar · 20-08-2006, 12:39 AM

@go_gamez: ref. qwertymaniac's nickname. You must be knowing what maniac is. now look at the first six letter keys in the topmost alphabet row of your keyboard...that explains the first part.

Pathik · 20-08-2006, 04:32 PM
