Just thought I'd say a few things:
First of all, can anybody please mail me arcgsh version 2.1? All
attempts to get this program from wuarchive.wustl.edu have been a
complete and total failure. I'd appreciate it.
As for the ZOO -VS- LHARC discussion, I use ZOO quite a bit.
Currently, I am converting the Atari ST files on an 8 line BBS in
Florida over to ZOO. The things I like about ZOO are:
1) It compresses, ussually, better then ARC does. We've saved
quite a bit of disk space.
2) There are some nice features. It is USEFUL to have the
ability to add a comment into that archive, many has been the
time I have downloaded a file and forgot what it was. I also
like the fact it saves the complete pathname of the file. None
of this archives-within-archives stuff to preserve pathnames.
LHARC might compress a bit better, but it it not as widely used as
LHARC and as available on other machines.
