About the DOC format
DOC — Microsoft Word 97-2003 Document
DOC is the legacy binary format used by Microsoft Word from version 2 through Word 2003. It was the dominant word processing format throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Since Word 2007, DOCX has been the default, but DOC files remain extremely common in corporate and institutional archives.
Common uses
- Opening legacy Microsoft Word documents
- Converting old DOC files to DOCX or PDF
- Business and government document archives
- Legacy corporate document workflows
About the XZ format
XZ — XZ Compressed File
XZ is a single-file compression format using the LZMA2 algorithm, which provides some of the best compression ratios available for general-purpose single-file compression. It is the default format for many Linux distribution packages and kernel releases. While compression is slow, decompression is surprisingly fast, making it ideal for distributable archives.
Common uses
- Linux kernel and software release compression
- Arch Linux package format (.pkg.tar.xz)
- Maximum compression of source code and text
- Firmware and embedded image distribution
