I normally use zip. but the version maintained by Netlabs and bundled with ArcaOS can't handle archives larger than 4 GiB. I'm looking at p7zip as an alternative for that one archive.
I don't use jar (which is really zip) unless I'm dealing with Java. If I have to ship an archive to someone else then I'll ask him what formats he can handle, although it's hard to find someone that can't handle zip. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

I understand that customary vs. peculiar format is an option; I don't know the default. Which do you use? Can the archives you create be extracted by "jar"? It can pose a problem for someone who doesn't have it but needs to extract its archives. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
