You have my vote.  I have been using ZOO, and promoting it as best I
could here, since I first got it, and have had no real complaints.  It
is just too good a program to complain about (compression is not as
good as with other programs, but the added usefulness [directories,
source, etc], far outweigh the difference there in my opinion).
