Compressed Archive file format

[MacHiavelli]

If you open the preferences for the archive utility, it offers 3 archive formats to use when compressing files:

(1) Compressed archive
(2) Regular archive
(3) Zip archive

I've googled, but can't find out what the difference is between (1) and (3).

TIA.

Why not share what you've found with other readers? (some of whom may be wondering the same thing you were).
