> Lharc seems speed comparable with Zoo, maybe a bit slower at packing.

HA! That's a laugh.  Even on my 68030 workstation lharc is slow.  Lharc 
takes about five times as long as zoo does on compression and two to 
three times as long as zoo on decompression, at least on the kinds of 
files that I archive.

Personally, I am sticking with zoo.  I would rather have my archive files
be slightly larger than sit around waiting for ten minutes to decompress
this nifty new screen hack I just downloaded.
