Sounds to me like you've got more of a complaint with the programmers
of these lesser utilities than you do with Aladdin.  Myself, I never
create 1.5.1 archives.  If that means that you can't deal with it,
that's your problem.  _I_ can deal with almost any archive intended
for a Macintosh which someone sends my way.  Putting your head in the
sand and refusing to deal with new superior technology is one of the
attitudes that I refuse to respect.

Flexibility is to be respected, OTOH.

Compact Pro is not PD.  It's shareware.  Do you understand the difference?
