Just my $.02 worth, I prefer to use arj when time is critical (or space), oh, and thats uploading time, and I was impressed with Pkzips 2.04c speed, and compression, but the as I'm usually in OS/2, i want something that works.  But until,
either Pk makes a working pkzip 2.xx or info zip is able to specifiy what 
directory you want to uncompress the stuff into, I'll probably stick with arj.
