I would love to switch to ZOO *when* its speed approaches ZIP and when
its compression improves.  I saved a lot of space by switching from ARC
to ZIP.  I think Mike forgots that many of us do not program in assembly.
It seems clear to me that Rahul might well add-in LZH compression and
that there may be a faster implementation of that.  If that is true, I
wonder why we didn't change when the improvements are ready.
