Well, until PKAZIP surpasses LHARC, there is no reason why the whole 
world should switch to it.  Not only is LHARC *free*, it's also faster, 
and almost always produces smaller files (even the Lharc by Paolo 
Zibetti, although LharcA 0.99 is much much faster.)  And with the onset 
of Lharc 2 (new algorithm), there will be even less reason to switch.
 
Currently, I only use PKAZIP to convert those archives to .LZH format.  
Obviously if the author wants a Shareware contribution for continued 
use, he's entitled to one, but until PKAZIP comes out with a command 
line interface, and gains enough speed to be competetive with LHARC, 
there is little point in using it.
