For the most information, you could trying reviewing comp.compression. 
There has been a virus scare due to old versions of Norton AV (and perhaps
some other virus-detection utilities) reporting a false positive on the
pklited executables.

There are more serious problems, though.  Comp.compression regulars are
collecting a bug list; sadly, it already has too many entries.  From memory:

without command line switches [possibly with, too?], the new version
crashes windows 3.1 and OS/2 DOS boxes.  This is apparently a problem with
DPMI support.

the string COMPRESSION=maximal in the manual should read =maximum

multi-volume archiving may only be done to physical floppies, and uses
identical filenames for all members of the volume

multi-volume archives which are slightly more than one disk in size do not
reliably compress/uncompress.  This is apparently a boundary problem, and
I do not know where the boundary is, exactly.

volume labels cannot be stored in an archive

There may be others, as well
