WA (Waveform Archiver) is an archiver specifically designed to
process waveform data. WA only recognizes files in the popular Windows ".WAV" audio format with uncompressed PCM data. WA
compresses such files and handles all other files by copying them into the
archive.
WA compresses such files and handles all other files by copying them
into the archive. The generated archive has a ".WA" extension, unless a different extension is explicitly
specified.
To my knowledge, WA compresses waveform data better than any other
software. This includes waveform specific compressors (SHORTEN,
OggSQUISH), archivers with multimedia option (RAR, UC,
RKIVE), and advance archivers (ACB,
QUANTUM, HA).
WA is also fast. The 32-bit version compresses faster than
PKZip.
