== Legacy == There are numerous other standards and formats using "zip" as part of their name. For example, zip is distinct from [[gzip]], and the latter is defined in [[IETF]] {{IETF RFC|1952}}. Both zip and gzip primarily use the [[DEFLATE]] algorithm for compression. Likewise, the [[ZLIB]] format (IETF {{IETF RFC|1950}}) also uses the DEFLATE compression algorithm, but specifies different headers for error and consistency checking. Other common, similarly named formats and programs with different native formats include [[7-Zip]], [[bzip2]], and [[rzip]].
