My problem:

I need to archive files under UNIX, but then transfer the archive to MSDOS
and be able to uncompress it there.


My question:

Are there programs that produce archives that are compatible for both
operating systems (i.e. can handle the difference between line-feed under
UNIX and line-feed+carriage return in MSDOS, something that eg ZOO cannot
do - at least not the version I got).

COMPRESS isn't suitable for my purpose since it just compresses single files
without binding them together to a large archive.

Thanks in advance
