Many people indicated that they wanted to be able to unpack the archives on UNIX machines and read the docs before taking the time to download to a DOS machine. That leaves arc and zoo. zoo was voted by the readers last year and doesn't ask for money. Now that PKARC is (mostly) gone zoo is a lot faster on the PC end, too. In any case, I sent out the first posting in the new c.b.i.p. and would like to hear if it gets out okay. Some sites have Rahul listed as moderator and some have me, and that may make for poor propigation. Let me know if you get the test posting. -- bill davidsen - sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX davidsen@sixhub.uucp ...!uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen "Getting old is bad, but it beats the hell out of the alternative" -anon
