There are lots of obscure compression formats that achieve somewhat

not too open), such as MS CAB and ACE.
CAB is an archive container format, not a compression algorithm. Last
time I worked on some code to handle it, they used the standard LZW
algorithm implemented by gzip ( but had the ability to support others in
the future ) and could only compress 32kb blocks. The small block size
led to poor compression.
