Michael, I am now getting messages from Arachne list after three days no see. I never unsubscribed, and I didn't resubscribe. Would I do better to switch to digest? I can't see why I didn't get Arachne list messages for three days when other email reached me, including some other emailing lists. Regarding ZIP vs. RAR, I browsed http://www.rarsoft.com, found that RAR is $35 shareware, not open-source. Infozip, which is compatible with PKZIP, is open-source and runs on many computer platforms. An open-source alternative to RAR is bzip2, which is supposed to compress tighter than Infozip. There is a bzip2 for DOS, but since not many Arachne users have bzip2, ZIP is a better choice for distributing a new Arachne release. On http://www.rahul.net/dkaufman, I remember seeing a link to DOS bzip2 v0.95 and DOS port of wget as well as DOS Lynx 386.
