   Hi!  Haven't posted in a while. Anyway, there IS a new version of
powerpacker, but I haven't tried it out yet, in fact I already downloaded
it but I still have to un-lzh it (I download in .zoo but transfer to .lzh
so I can pack more file on my diskettes).
   Imploder is a program that does something like powerpacker only that 
with another algorith, implosion. Anyway, it compresses *slightly* better
(at it's max setting) that PP at it's best setting, and it has music and
a nice graphical interface. the only gripe I have about it is that it's
memory requirements at unpacking time are slightly higher that PP's.
I haven't tested to see which unpacks faster (although PP is *no* slouch).
If you want a copy send me e-male.
