Folks:
I would like to know what is the lastest version of PKWARE's compression
programs (PKARC, PKZIP)?
Also, I would like to hear any suggestions on what compress programs to use.
What are you using and why?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

For user interface and features I like zoo. All the features of zip in one package instead of two. The new version in development will have comparable compression to zip. Other than that I use lharc, since the compression is good and it, like zoo, is free use. I'm tracking the non-shareware zip and unzip, and the new think in beta test on simtel20. A DOS version of unzip will be posted when the queue runs down. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
