I would like to know are there any differences (other than compression types) between the unix platform source code package (.tar.bz2, tar.gz) and windows platform ones (.7z, .zip) ?

Platform	File
unix	boost_1_54_0.tar.bz2
	boost_1_54_0.tar.gz
windows	boost_1_54_0.7z
	boost_1_54_0.zip

  

 

Thanks.
