Glad we don't have to go through the Archiver Wars again -- ARC versus
ZIP, PAK is just as good, really... ARJ and LZH shaving off a tiny bit of
space at the expense of compatibility...
My dialup BBS went from a 32 MB drive to a 320MB drive and stayed that way
for most of the duration. Glad storage is cheap now.
