Summary: If Phil Katz is such a great dude why doesn't he publish a complete description of Squashing so we can get it into unix/vms/mac/whatever arc?!


I agree that Squashing is a good idea, and that PKARC/PKXARC are good
programs.

But if Phil Katz is such a great dude, why won't he let us get a compatible
arc on unix?  He could publish a full description of the new compression
technique, and the format of the new arc file. At he very least he could
create a unix version himself.  That way he could keep all of the profits :-)
