Could you please use a more widely supported packaging / compression format? (E.g., gzip, bz2)
7z is rather widely used from what I have seen 7z compresses a *lot* better then gzip/bzip/zip/etc...
It does indeed - half the size of 'vanilla' zip which is why I used it - My attempt to send in zip was thwarted by the 75 kb limit on attached files :-(
Takes more memory and time to do the initial compression, but is fast decompressing.
I really doubt you would have any issues opening it, on my Kubuntu install I just click to open it, ditto with my windows.
But for those still having trouble - and really interested - I have also burdened the Boost vault http://www.boostpro.com/vault/index.php?direction=0&order=&directory=Miscellaneo us/SVG_demo_Plots& aka http://tinyurl.com/llcvac in both zipped and uncompressed format (you will note that ALL these examples are only 300 kb, roughly 25 kb each).
