        Without this turning into a compression war fest :)

        I've also done simliar tests with the above.  It
        really depends on what you comparess.  Obviously
        files of nothing but text compress differently for
        each than say exes and dll files for example.  I
        didn't see that much difference.  I still use zip
        mostly but occasiuonally will use ARJ when it
        does better compression.
