 It was still supposed to compress in arc compatible packets though, I'll have
to look into that, i remember playing with it a while back and testing it, but
I can't remember if *I* had set up the command line params for it, or it came
already setup like that.
 Know where i can get a copy of (dos) arc or something to test it?
