So tell me where I can get these -- even if they're shareware they sound
worth some bucks.  My concerns are, in descending order, compatibility,
size, and speed.  Given that compatibility is a given, for size vs. speed
would you recommend arce.com or pkxarc.com as my chosen extractor?

Thanks for your time,
