We were recently testing different compression types in WinZip 11, and discovered that BC3 does not support bzip2 or PPMd.
Information on PPMd is at this URL:

I saw a bzip2 post in the BC2 support forums, so I know that's on your list somewhere.
Curious if this is on your roadmap. We will switch back to the
BC3-supported compression type for our zip files, but sometime it would be nice to use PPMd, as it produces smaller files.
I couldn't find a list of supported compression types for .zip files in your preliminary user manual -- perhaps it would make sense to add it?
It was helpful that the error reported by BC3 said unsupported compression type -- that way we immediately knew what the issue was.
Thanks!
