A lot of people don't like it...

Potential disk trashing I believe.

I recently used Ult Lynx 2, on a 453 k file (that 1800 disk blocks!), and
it worked fine (as far as I can see).

The only problem I had was that Ult Lynx offered me the option of where to
extract the files to, but ignored me anyway!  :(

I don't know why more people don't use ARKIVE, or something similar that
actually compress the files as well.  Lynx just alters the sector pointers
to link the files together, and puts a header on that allows Lynx to
recreate the files.

Apparently...

I missed the start of it, and a few bits in the middle.

But, I don't think we have that much support for the 64/128 in Australia
that we can afford for people to get pissed off and leave. 
We can dream I suppose....
