As far as I'm concerned, LZH is the best, since 1. it is the fastest decompressor on the MSX, and 2. There also is decent support for it on the PC (LZH is supported by WinRAR and a lot of other archivers, PMA is not). Also, I use RAR all the time, and so do my friends. At least RAR is free, has a better compression rate, doesn't bug you about registration every time you start it, and can extract a lot more than RAR only (in the contrary to WinZIP). And if nessecary, I can even ZIP files with it! So all hail to RAR (erm... LZH, I mean :))! Woohoo! ~Grauw -- For info, see http://www.stack.nl/~wynke/MSX/listinfo.html
