Ah, but who's going to do a DSP-specific version of zoo, lharc, or arc? 
Questor might do a lharc for it, but then again, he might not.  Info-Zip
isn't going to waste their time working on a DSP-specific unzip...

This would be cool...  let's hope someone does it!

That might help things a bit...  You'll still need to work on
DSP-specific code though.
