Anyone using the ARC512 or ZOO programs for MS/PCDOS should take a
serious look at PKARC. PK stands for Phil Katz, the author. He's
done a SUPER job of optimizing the speed and file compression. It
beats both ARC and ZOO hands down! It's the fastest ARC/UNARC program
I've ever seen. The latest version is now available from
SIMTEL20.ARPA as:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD:<MSDOS.ARC-LBR>
PKX33A12.COM.1 BINARY 53248 E4D6H
This file, when executed, extracts PKARC, PKXARC and their DOCs.
Unlike ARC512 (now obsolete as far as I'm concerned), this program is
FREE - no obligations. The ARCs it makes are significantly smaller
than ARC512's but are still extractable under ARC512 (if you want to
wait that long). This version also allows entry of comments into the
ARC which can later be displayed. ARC512 will ignore them.
