Surprisingly, this is one of the reasons I use UltraCompressor Pro R3.  It 
checks for common sections not only in the same file but between files as 
well!  So while zipping 2 copies of command.com (~30,000 bytes) will yield an 
archive of ~40 Kb, UC2R3 yields a 15-20 Kb archive.  It is slower, but until 
Jung figures out to do that, it'll always make UC2 superior.
Actually, UC2 does this by quickly Pre-Analyzing files based on their sizes 
and extensions.  If you want this archiver, or want more info on it, feel 
free to send me a message and I'll upload it to my Boss for FREQ'ing.

You know, I've felt its "aura" before!....  :)
