I wonder if going to court prompted this 'new' version, or the fact that ZIP
was becoming very popular, and they had no 'legal' means to stop it. If this
had been the original response to PKARC then I would have applauded SEA, and
we all would all have better utilities. But as it stands I have removed all
ARC files from my systems...
