Scifer is based on Universal Common Logic.Least memory consumtion compression.New Methodology Archiver.Best Compression ratio for pre compressed files.The BETA version focuses more on complex, pattern-less and randomized data.Unique archive structure which allows files and data to be directly accessed without extracting.File addition or removal is not allowed. Ideal for archived file distributions.Two distinct type of archives can be created in Scifer
· Internal header
The archive and file information is stored within the same archive in the beginning followed by binary compressed data.
· External header
The archive and file information is stored in a separate XML file. The contents of XML can be universally viewed and a more comprehensible view can be obtained using XML viewers like Internet Explorer. The files from the binary archive (.ba) created along with this can be extracted only along with the XML header file.The external header makes it possible to view the information of files in the archive in any application like browsers, office automation documents or XML processing viewers without mobilising the large binary data of the archive. Example: show the archive contents in any number of websites while the actual binary archive is present in one location only.A new file exploring technique called OneView is used in which you can see all the files present in a single window along with their paths making the user flexible in going to any file or folder instantaneous without any clicks.
