What we really need...

In msdos land, there is an archiver that compresses, packs everything
together, and is *executable*.  When you execute the archive, it unarchives
itself.  Kind of a binary shar file.

The advantage of this of course is that recipients don't have to have the
unarchiver to unarchive anything.  Take me, for example.  I haven't got Zoo.
This means that I suddenly can't use half the stuff that goes by here,
until I track down a copy of Zoo, learn to use Zoo, etc.
