+ 2. Zip format supports pkware and WinzipAES encryption.  However, encrypted LZMA is not supported.  Zip64 reading/writing is supported but only with seekable streams as the Zip spec doesn't support Zip64 data in post data descriptors.
  3. The Tar format requires a file size in the header.  If no size is specified to the TarWriter and the stream is not seekable, then an exception will be thrown.
  4. The 7Zip format doesn't allow for reading as a forward-only stream so 7Zip is only supported through the Archive API

+## Archive Formats vs Compression 
+
+Sometimes the terminology gets mixed.
+
+### Compression
+
+DEFLATE, LZMA are pure compression algorithms
+
+### Formats
+
+Formats like Zip, 7Zip, Rar are archive formats only.  They use other compression methods (e.g. DEFLATE, LZMA, etc.) or propriatory (e.g RAR)
+
+### Overlap
+
+GZip, BZip2 and LZip are single file archival formats.  The overlap in the API happens because Tar uses the single file formats as "compression" methods and the API tries to hide this a bit.

+## Recommended Formats
+
+In general, I recommend GZip (Deflate)/BZip2 (BZip)/LZip (LZMA) as the simplicity of the formats lend to better long term archival as well as the streamability.  Tar is often used in conjunction for multiple files in a single archive (e.g. `.tar.gz`)
+
+Zip is okay, but it's a very hap-hazard format and the variation in headers and implementations makes it hard to get correct.  Uses Deflate by default but supports a lot of compression methods.
+
+RAR is not recommended as it's a propriatory format and the compression is closed source.  Use Tar/LZip for LZMA
+
+7Zip and XZ both are overly complicated.  7Zip does not support streamable formats.  XZ has known holes explained here: (http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xz_inadequate.html)  Use Tar/LZip for LZMA compression instead.

 ## A Simple Request
 
 Hi everyone. I hope you're using SharpCompress and finding it useful. Please give me feedback on what you'd like to see changed especially as far as usability goes. New feature suggestions are always welcome as well. I would also like to know what projects SharpCompress is being used in. I like seeing how it is used to give me ideas for future versions. Thanks!
