Interesting -- I did not realize that the zip format supports lzma, bzip2, and zstd. What software supports those compression methods? Can Windows Explorer read zip files produced with those compression methods?

(I have been using 7zip for about 15 years to produce archive files that have an index and can quickly extract a single file and can use multiple cores for compression, but I would love to have an alternative, if one exists).

7zip has a dropdown called "Compression method" in the "Add to Archive" dialog that lets you choose.

Until windows 11, no, windows zip only seems to deal with COMPRESS/DEFLATE zip files.
