While the binaries may not work on my UNIX system, at least I can
un-zoo them, to print the doc on the nice laser printers and/or determine
if the file is worth the time to download to the PC.

While it would be convenient if there were a single program to do the
archiving, there seem to be some *legal* hassles involved. Perhaps
someone can write a nice menu/command-line based "wrapper" that would
determine the file extension and automatically start up the correct
archiver with the appropriate switches.
