Arcgsh is the best reason I have ever had to install a shell (gulam,
msh, any keyboard oriented line-at-a-time shell at all).  Yes, I was
using 2.1 and IMHO it's at least 5 times as much work to use as the
raw commands themselves.  Faugh!

Re the compression issue: let's go with zoo; it's available in source
and reasonably quick, and it indeed does hierarchies properly.  ARC is
getting a little old and crufty.
