  For user interface and features I like zoo. All the features of zip in
one package instead of two. The new version in development will have
comparable compression to zip. Other than that I use lharc, since the
compression is good and it, like zoo, is free use.

  I'm tracking the non-shareware zip and unzip, and the new think in
beta test on simtel20. A DOS version of unzip will be posted when the
queue runs down.
