Would it be feasible to upgrade ARC so that it can use ZOO's compression
algorithm as well as the current ARC algorithms?  In this way we could
have the smallest compression but still only have one compressor to
deal with.  Also we would not have to deARC and then ZOO any current 
archives we might have.
