A number of PC-based compression formats are accessible via Mac
applications. The commonest (?) PC format .ZIP can be unzipped by a a
sharware application called ZipIt, which will also zip files on the Mac
and handle binhex 4 and Macbinary. It will also segment large files.
ZipIt is available from the usual ftp sites.
