  Thanks for all the responses to my request for archive information on
UNIX boxes.
  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not being clear in my request for
info.  I am aware of tar/compress, and in fact, am still considering it
as a solution (for many of the reasons pointed out here: portability,
stability, etc).
  What I failed to make clear is that I was looking for _other_ solutions
and how they might compare to tar/compress or any other solutions.
  Personally, I like the idea of lharc, as it does it all in one swell
foop!  However speed and size are still considerations.
  At any rate, thanks to all for the suggestions regarding tar/compress
(most of the solutions were more elegant than mine, I'm jealous ;-).
