- I note that the Shareware price for pkz204c is $47. This
- is a lot of money for a marginally better compression program.
-
- Lets keep things in perspective, all this does is implement
- a rather old compression and librarian program. There are
- a lot of other such programs out there that work real well.
- Also I have spent a heck of a lot less for a bunch more
- shareware functionality. So is this thing worth $47 ?
- My answer is no.
-
- I realize that pkzip is the big name in compression. What
- would happen if Timo and Jim required a certification that
- anyone posting to their machines had a legal copy?
