I wholeheartedly recommend PC-Tools Deluxe.  It has a versatile COMPRESS
program which is not only effective, but quite entertaining to watch :-).
The program(s) were produced by Central Point Software of Portland, OR.
I've no connection with the company, but they sure make good PC software.

This package is a real goldmine for miscellaneous software tools.  There is a
hard disk management program (PCTOOLS) with an integrated word processor.
The reason I bought the package was for its fast backup utility.  There is
also a 'safe' format program which prevents you from trashing your hard disk.

All in all, this is a real bargain program.  I got my copy at Egghead SW for
about $70.
