Why is it not available via BBS? I have it on my BBS. The PC Week article
did not test using ZOO, which has been around for ages, which i thought
was surprising. They also did not test using LHARC which is public domain
and comes with complete source code AND has better compression than pkzip
in *most* cases. It's as usual. People doing these "benchmarks" are
way behind on whats going on.
