And noting of course that .tar.bz2 and .tag.gz are not Unix-family platform specific. Tools for handling them are available on Windows. They tend to provide better compression than .zip so I use them (on Windows) whenever available.

I would like to know are there any differences (other than compression types) between the unix platform source code package (.tar.bz2, tar.gz) and windows platform ones (.7z, .zip) ? Platform File unix boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2 boost_1_54_0.tar.gz windows boost_1_54_0.7z boost_1_54_0.zip
The code is identical in all the archives. Maybe only line-breaks differ. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
