Warum tut 'cut' in der Bash unter #MacOS etwas anderes, wie 'cut' in der #Bash unter Linux?!

I'm impressed by #7zip's compression abilities when it comes to PDF files. Use case: I have 260 PDF files (each around 90 KiB), but only 60 of them are unique (scroll down for why). Not only does it compress the unique files very well, it also detects the redundancy and duplicates.

The whole archive has 148 KiB, that's less than 2 PDF files. By comparison, the best result I get with #zip is 18 MiB (maybe I have missed some magic options).

By the way: #Moodle, please support 7zip.
