Isn't that something like saying, "We're just going to use this time capsule
embedded in the left rear quarterpannel of a tank, then we just drive the
tank to mars." (Okay, it's early, forgive the bad analogy).
The beautiful thing about compression is the concept behind it. I just
recently ran into a situation where a client wanted a site, and for some
reason our sales guy decided that we needed to burn the code and a backup of
a SQL Server database to CD. He wanted something "pretty" to put in their
hands. Never mind that the whole thing took a touch over 2 mb! I
personally wanted to put the thing in a self-extracting archive of some kind
and get it out the door!
The important thing is that both yourself and the intended recipient know
what to do with the archive. If it's going from you to another tech that
you know already has some form of ARJ archiving utility then you've already
found your answer and we're rehashing a *very* old discussion thread.
Enjoy!

PS: For nostalgia's sake, anyone remember ICE? It was a 'modified' LHA
wrapper. Also, why hasn't anyone brought up ARC's?

ofcourse if the usage were to make compressed file FOR USERS I wouldn't have
used it. but the situation is diffrent - we're using it just to move 10000s
of small files from our
production server to Israel for calcualation.
