Hi,

instead of asking "anybody out there" I might as well post an updated list of 
(mostly) text mode archivers and tools ideal for use with FC/W.

Best viewed in monospaced font; hopefully the listserver won't wrap the lines.

* For lha32, change fcw.ini like this:

   [Archiver:LHARC]
   Compress=lha32 a /o1 /r /d1 /x
   CompressListfileSwitch=
   Extract=lha32 x
   ExtractWithoutPath=lha32 e
   ExtractListfileSwitch=
   Delete=lha32 d
   CompressDirSpec=!\*
   ExtractDirSpec=!\*

This is LHA32 by Haruyasu Yoshizaki ('Yoshi'), author of LHARC for DOS. In
order for FC/W to recognize the archive header, you have to use the 'old
compatible' switch (-o or -o1) on creating archives.

** tar: This version is quite old, but works flawlessly with FC/W defaults.
For high performance on large TAR archives, try e.g.
