LZH/LH7, compresses significantly better than ZIP.

What do you mean? 7-Zip doesn't do cabs? The latest version can open it up just fine, or are you saying that it doesn't create cabs?

Tugzip is the one i use. I used to use quickzip, but find tugzip better.

simply they couldn't do a .cab archive, i search over site and find that zipgenius was good, but i has poor compability to make archive.

TugZip still best for me

btw there is and free archiever soft called "kgb archiever" that can compress more tight than ever it can compress 700mb cd into 7mb or even less, but you need a speed pc to done that (and extract that)

some warez site use this archiever soft to distribute Windows iso and Office iso
