I reconverted my major files directory on my system to the new ZIP and found
that it beat the old ZIP a great deal, but could not beat even the old ARJ
or LZH on some files.  I was using the Maximum compression option as well.

I am not saying the new ZIP is bad, but I was wondering why it couldn't even
beat the old ARJ.  Anyone else had similar results?
