Once upon a time there was a BBS where Rahul Dhesi was posting new versions of zoo, Dean W Cooper was posting DWC, and Phil Katz was posting whatever he was doing at the time. DWC is a small fast compressor, which gives good results slightly larger than zip in most cases. The source was release for DOS but not (yet) ported to UNIX. I believe that Dean gave Phil Katz some help with zip, but I don't recall for sure. It's a single program like zoo rether than a multipart thing like zip. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
