much more common, it seems to me, and what's the big deal about the
copyright issue anyway?  If you have PKUNPAK or whatever, there's no law
against using it.  Only that Phil Katz can't write any more .ARC programs.
And his new ZIP format is very nice, anyway.  It compresses files even further
than ARC or ZOO ever did, and compression ratio is more important to me than
any other factor.  If I start converting my files, it'll probably be to ZIP
rather than ZOO.

authors of ZOO, aside from that their programs are nice...
