I happen to like to new pkazip. I find it amazing that someone
who has lived in the MSDOS world for so long could write something
that has such an amiga-like interface on the first try. I do agree
that it needs a CLI interface but I'm willing to do without it given
what the tool can do. I have complaints about a lot of tools and
if the worst thing I can think of about pkazip is that it has a
user-friendly graphical interface while lacking an "experts" CLI
interface, then pkazip is far above the compitetion.

BTW, things I have noticed is that is compresses better than arc
but is usually %1 to %3 worse than lharc. However it is much faster
than lharc.
