Reading the talk about lharc/pkzip I though I'll mention a problem I have
with pkzip (1.02). If a file which is mainly uuencoded is pkziped it will be
stored as is (0% compression). lharc (or pkarc for that matter) will recover
most of the 25% overhead of the uuencoding process. This is why I do not use
pkzip on most of my stuff (specialy when one remembers how fast pkzip is in
relation to lharc [I use a 286/10]).
