#100 Manual inaccuracies

[Anonymous]

7-Zip manual incorrectly states Zip format has limitation
of 65535 files in one archive. It should be 'Zip format
created before PKZIP 4.5 has limitation for maximum
number of files in one archive: 65535 files.'

The performance page in the manual compares 7-Zip
with other archivers that were already obsolete and
unsupported long before the distribution of the respective
version of 7-Zip archiver. While biased comparision is
an expected behaviour for commercial software vendors,
the results in 7-Zip manual make the Microsoft-funded
Mindcraft benchmark looks almost honest. Having such
benchmarketing in free software greatly hurts the
creditability of 7-Zip, especially when current 7-Zip
compresses just as well, and sometimes better than,
the latest competing products. Such unrealistic and
overtly biased benchmarks results are not ethical
representations of 7-Zip's abilities, and should never
appear on 7-Zip documentation again.
