        Use bzip2 instead of gzip.  It's a lot better.  bzip2 is even
better than rar, which was the best around for quite a while.
        Does anyone know if there is a chance to find a dos/win port of
bzip2?  I mean I want to make all my archives with it.  But most of my
friends run win95 machines.
