Actually I started using Phillip Katz program called PKARC
and PKUNARC even earlier.  He was sued by a company that
produced the ARC and UNARC utilities which did some
compression and he had to substitute "ZIP" for "ARC".
 Phillip's compression algorithm was so much superior to
the ARC programs that the ARC programs were quickly
abandoned.  I've not heard from the company that produced
ARC in many years.

PKARC would compress using the technique that produced the
smallest file size.  A file would be stored, packed,
squeezed, crunched, Crunched, or squashed depending on
which method was best for the file data.  These terms would
be displayed as the file was being compressed.

Enough of a walk down memory lane!
