Does anyone know of a public domain backup utility that will backup files
to 1.44 MB floppy, WITH file compression on the order of 50% ?  I need to
back up my drive, but would like to save on disk usage.  Low HD overhead
is desirable ( on the order of 5 free Megabytes).  Can PKZIP be used for
this purpose?

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

PS:  answers by e-mail appreciated.
