Does anyone have the email address of the author of MacCompress, Lloyd L. Chambers, or a version more recent than 3.2? In the help file, he says that he can receive email, but lists no address. I've been getting bus errors trying to decompress files bigger than 10K...thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is a common question but I don't usually read this group. Anyway is there the compatible equivalent of the PC archiving programs like PKARC, PKZIP etc on the MACs? I want to transfer some files over a network and the best way to save bandwidth would be to compress on the source machine and then decompress on the target machine. If there isn't is there any other way of reducing tranfer times. At about 1 Meg per minute through Appletalk it's getting pretty slow. A software solution and preferably PD would be best!

There's MacArc, ArcMac, MacLHArc, MacZoo, etc. I can also recommend Compact Pro 1.3 or Stuffit 1.5.1. -- + John Mazzocchi + "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, + + Melbourne, Victoria + but a fire to be lighted" - Plutarch + + Australia + + rxcjm@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au +

Stuffit 1.5.1 is the standard MAC compressio/uncompression utility. It is shareware and you should be able to get it from a user group.
