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.
