Useful information about compressing ZIP archives (and OpenOffice documents, which are essentially also ZIP archives)

Johan writes that it is possible to improve ZIP compression by simply placing one ZIP inside another.

(Reading this entry, it is not difficult to notice that this is how the JAR archive inside the XPI archive works when distributing extensions to Firefox.)

Johan also writes that you can improve the compression of OpenOffice documents (which are XML files in ZIP archives) if you repack them with the 7-Zip archiver, which creates ZIP files more compact than those created by other ZIP archivers.

(Personally, it’s amazing to me about this, why nobody has added the open source 7-Zip to the open OpenOffice yet . It remains only to be given.)
