   I would rather have someone develop a universal archiving tool which
could dearchive many different formats and perhaps archive in all those
formats as well.  There are trade-offs for all the compression methods and
I would rather not lose the freedom of choice.

   Does someone want to develop such a universal archiving tool?  Is it
worth it?  I for one would have a use for such a program.
