 KP> ALL ABOUT ARCHIVES, LZHS, ZIPS, ZOOS, LIBRARIES, and SQUEEZED FILES

 KP>            .ARC   for files archived with PKPAK.EXE,
 KP>            .LZH   for files archived with LHARC.EXE,
 KP>            .ZIP   for files archived with PKZIP.EXE,
 KP>            .ZOO   for files archived with ZOO.EXE,
 KP>            .LBR   for files libraried with LU.EXE, and
 KP>            .?Q?   for squeezed files (middle letter is a Q).

I'd add ARJ to this list now, as it's a relatively new compression much better than ZIP or LZH.  As it is written in ANSI C I would suspect that it will show up on almost every type of computer / OS.
