Now, Apple being Apple they don't include anything other than the Deflate method in their standard zipping tools like Archive Utility and ditto (even though LZMA has been part of the specification since 2006). LZMA is interesting as it is basically the same compression method as that found in XZ (Ok, technically these days XZ defaults to LZMA2 but the advantages of version 2 are not compression size or speed related). All of these (and more) are part of the ZIP APPNOTE published by PKWare (the company founded by Phil Katz, the inventor of the zip standard). Whilst the zip format is most commonly used with Deflate (the same compression method used by zlib and gzip), it does support several other methods, such as Deflate64, BZip2, PPMd and LZMA. If you are looking for "per file" compression, within an archive, you could use.
