- NOW arj is the best choice. In about 3 weeks however PKZIP 2.0 will be
- released. That is probably better (better defined as comparable
- main options, faster, higher ratio). But the story doesn't end
- their. A new ARJ is coming as well (2.4 and 2.5 planned already I believe)
- a new HPACK is in the queue and even better products are glooming
- as well.

- See comp.compression FAQ. InfoZIP has a PKZIP compatible program with
