Thanks for the suggestion... you are quite correct.  I've got about a 66%
overall compression rate now.  I also looked at PKZIP, which got me about a
75% compression rate.  I prefer PD to shareware, though, so I'll be sticking
with ZOO.  It also seems to win over both simple tar and tar-then-compress,
since it compresses in-stream.
