Specifically an HP/Apollo Workstation. The tool would have the ability to archive and restore a directory and would also compress the result. I only have access via anonymous FTP (via BITNET), so I need a site and such. Any suggestions? Favorites? Pros and Cons? BTW, in my application, size (or lack of) is more important than speed of compression or decompression. Thanks for any input! -Darrin Mossor -- /* ---------------------------------------------------------------------- */ Darrin Mossor | "Clothes make the man.
