Whilst I may be a little bit late I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. May 2010 be the best year yet!
Just like in previous years I ask all visitors of the things they like or dislike at this site and if they have suggestions or ideas they wish to raise in which it can be improved. You are welcome to post your comments here or send them to me either by PM or email.
Talking of improvements, finally after a long time there is now a working ratings system for file downloads which is accessible to site visitors. If you wish to rate a particular file you can do so simply by clicking on the appropriate star...
I started to manually check and moderate all comments on Tuts 4 You about a week ago before they could be approved for viewing. I made no announcement because I did not think anyone would notice but I was wrong, some of you have and asked what was going on. So for the others out there who may be wondering this is what will be happening in future.
The reason why I want to review all comments is because I am a bit disappointed with the level of English grammar, punctuation and short form used by people these days. To be honest I think there is no need for it and I find it sloppy, untidy and just laziness by posters who choose to do this. I may be getting old but I have always found this to be my pet hate on any site on the internet where I find it.
Just to clarify comments will not be changed or edited for any other reason. Your comments will only be edited to correct grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors.
If anyone has any questions or queries please feel welcome to ask me...
With the weather being bad today and having some hours to kill (watching some movies) I decided to check out the new LZMA2 (64-bit) compression which will be included in the up-coming 7-ZIP v9 release. You may ask why version 9 and not 4, I think it is to reference the year it will be released. Please correct me if I am wrong :)
I also decided to compress the same files using the up-coming release of WinRAR64. It has an improved and updated compression engine to support more modern multi-core and multi-threaded CPU's, instructions and memory. It all sounds promising on paper but can this old yet updated compression algorithm really stand up against its more modern counterpart?
Today I added a lot of new unpackme formats and versions that I had been building up for a while. I intended on uploading a large majority of these to Tuts 4 You before Christmas unfortunately time got the better of me. However since then I managed to keep adding to the list, 57 new formats and versions in all:
You will not see these listed in the Latest Downloads menu because I thought it better to leave some of the current listings on top. These unpackme's are however available for download if you go look for them, I added the upload dates as being 19/12/2008.
There are a couple of (old version) .NET unpackme's and some file binders in the list. I kept a couple of those file binders in the list simply for signatures so don't expect any unpacking challenges there...
