	RE PKAZip

	It's not that I have any problem with the ZIP format.  It's that the
program is overblown.  The author mentioned all the wonderful things it does,
but IMHO, it shouldn't do all those things.  I'm not going to use a file 
archiver as a directory utility.  The program takes up too much disk space to
fit on my WorkBench disk (I'm a floppy user) and takes up too much RAM to 
use most of the time unless I start shutting things down (I only have one meg).

	I don't see why I should register when I don't use the software.  
Future upgrades might change my mind, but I'm not going to pay in advance for
them.
