I hope that the archives posted in the moderated binaries group will be
formed with arc rather than pkarc. I don't believe that pkarcs can be
unpacked under UNIX, whereas arcs can. The largest difference in archive
file size I've seen is about 2% (yes I'm sure 40 people have generated
test cases which are 50% smaller, etc).
