Big news!  I just talked to a sysop on a board I frequent... I suggested that
he convert all his ZIP files over to ARJ, as he is seriously low on disk space.
He says that he called Phil Katz and talked to him, and that PKZIP 2.0 will be
here Real Soon Now.  It gets the same compression as LHA 2.12 and ARJ 2.0,
but is much faster (again, because it is optimized for the PC).

It never fails... As soon as new compression programs appear which can
seriously challenge PKZIP, he brings out a new one which squelches them.
All I can say is, thank goodness for the competition!
