Since no one seems to prefer compress and tar for archive
transmission to/from PC's, Here is another vote for zoo.
Arc/PK{ARC?ZIP} is brain dead, incompatible with Unix/Vms ... etc.

I will have to agree, I have never gotten a garbeled binary here, and I am running the Unix version of ARC (that is compatible w/ PK) I can't wait to get my hands on ZIP! Is it available on Simtel yet? Why exactly (list reasons) why we should change the standard... Thanks -- Jim Brunke Computer and Information Science University of Delaware brunke@vax1.acs.udel.edu

In consideration of Rahul's recent offer to drop his distribution restrictions on ZOO, I vote in favor of using ZOO on this newsgroup. -- Rich Wales // UCLA Computer Science Department // +1 (213) 825-5683 3531 Boelter Hall // Los Angeles, California 90024-1596 // USA wales@CS.UCLA.EDU ...!(uunet,ucbvax,rutgers)!cs.ucla.edu!wales "The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank."

Absolutely, but for different reasons. Zoo is technically superior in my book -- try archiving a directory TREE with "arc" or "pkxxxxx". It won't work! Do the same with Zoo, then unpack it in it's ORIGINAL directory tree. Simple. As distributions get more complicated this becomes a GODSEND. Let's do Zoo. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, ddsw1!karl) Data: [+1 312 566-8912], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc. "Quality solutions at a fair price"
