Someone mentioned PKZIP a while back.  Is it my imagination or does this
program (available for IBM PC's and clones) blow away any Mac program in
speed, if not compression?  It takes about 10 seconds for 100 K and 
regularly compresses files by at least 50%.  It would be great if the
authors would write a Mac version.  Any comments?
