| I vote against his ZOO as the archiving program for two reasons,however.
pkarc runs *only* on DOS. Phil has mentioned a UNIX version, but as yet
it hasn't seen the light of day. zoo runs on DOS, UNIX, VMS, Amiga,
VM/CMS, etc. Is is useful to more people on more systems.
Actually I will be happy if we just stop using PKARC format. Either arc
or zoo are probably acceptable formats. The other advantage of zoo is
that it's 4-10 times faster than arc, has comments on the files and on
the archive, and has a listing option which produces records suitable
for database use (if you have a lot of files as I do).
