I would even say it is better than LHArc... BUT the I*M has a superior Zip archiving/dearchiving program. The Amiga version is buggy, slow, and not universal to all versions of the I*M Zip. If someone would make a cli version like lharc, it MIGHT catch on... But as for 99% of all bbs's using ZIP, WRONG.... Most Amiga bbs's use LZH and considering this is an AMIGA newsgroup, I think you should think before you speak... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Walton : n07ev@tamuts.tamu.edu 'To LIVE is to use an AMIGA!' : cmw1725@tamvenus.tamu.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
