Trying to come up with a name for a "ZIP, but improved" file format.

GoodZIP - shortens to gzip, oops

BetterZIP - shortens to bzip, also oops

maybe just "Regular ZIP" (.rip)

@retr0id what improvements do you propose? it may already be part of the zip format, just not widely implemented. it does a lot of stuff, being an old and crufty format.

@sneak The improvements would be *removing* the cruft

@retr0id then just implement zip without the parts you don't like - if you're careful then existing decompressors should be able to work on your files

@sneak That's precisely the plan.

@retr0id then it sounds like they would still be .zip files.
