Maybe this flamer doesn't know what a condescending unix-snot
his posting makes him look like, but is ignorance an excuse?
(PS I LOVE UNIX TOO)

Compress may or may not be one of the compaction methods used by
arc programs, but if can't read ARC files its utility is limited.
I for one would like SOMEONE to write an archiver smart enough
to figure out which program did the compression, and then field
the file to ARC, ZOO, Compress, or whatever else will handle things.
