PeaZip free bz2 files
utility offers full read /
write support (compressor, and extractor / opener) for BZ2
compressed files,
through the Open Source components from 7-Zip and p7zip projects
(released
under LGPL license, as PeaZip) to offer the same GUI
frontend to
create,
browse, and extract .bz2 files under Windows
and Linux operating systems.
BZ2 format does not support encryption (files of this type cannot be
password protected).
Manage TAR.BZ2 files
Chaining Bzip2 compression after TAR archiving triggers solid
compression: the entire input is treated as a whole in order
to attain generally better compression performances that treating each
input file separately.
Compress
to BZ2 format
BZ2
compression accepts a
single file as input,
otherwise (to add multiple files and directories) use "TAR before"
option to consolidate input in a single TAR package before proceeding
with compression stage with BZip2 algorithm.
From "Advanced" tab, you can
fine-tune compression settings (dictionary size and passes) of the
BZip2 compression.
