Seems I read something about this a few weeks ago, but at the time, I
wasn't interested.  Now I am, and I'm sorry for the repeat, but...

Given certain extensions on compressed files for the Amiga, such as
zoo, .z, .lzh, etc., which programs compress/uncompress these files?
(As an aside, are any of these compression/uncompression available for
VAX/VMS?)

I have zoo which works with .zoo files, now what are the others?
(PS:  Let's not get into obscure compressions.  I'm interested in the
ones that are typically used on the FTP sites such as xanth and mrcnext)

Thanx muchly, for any help!
