To throw in my own contribution to the debate on Zip for VM.
It would be nice to have for completeness but I think that it would
really not be worth the effort.  Since Zoo already works interchangeably
on VM and under DOS ( and possible on many other platforms )  it can be
used by those people who would like to compress files on VM for other
operating systems.  Perhaps the only change necessary is to update
Zoo for VM to the new version which offers a much better compression
rate than the original Zoo.  Remember Zip rarely gives the most
compact output.
I think compress will also work on both but I can't be sure since I
never tried to get it to work both ways.
