I'm very happy with ARK11. I can get it to you, if it's not in SIMTEL. The size saved is usually at least half of the space previously used. ARC is not as efficient as ARK. I found that it's faster. (Assembly coded) Both are basically compatible I think. I believe I have a version of ZIP for CP/M too, but haven't tried it yet. Actually just found it after searching for a while thru my collection. ZIP099 ?? Is there something newer or has someone used this? > Any help would be much appreciated. > There you go. > David Pickles andmp@uk.ac.bristol.np1a Ronn

Is there something newer or has someone used this? That is an UNZIP-only program. There are no ZIP programs that I know of. If there are any, I'm fiercely interested.
