Subject: CCC Archives - 70MB instead of 200MB! - ZIP vs. CAB

I converted all the CCC archives from 9/97 - 2/02 that were in ZIP format to CAB
format. It was a substantial savings in size. I lopped off about 65%
excessthrough better compression. The CAB format can easily be extracted with
WinZIP and many of the other compression tools out. If ANYONE that hosts these
files wants me to upload them to their site just let me know and I'll do it. It
could save a lot of time for someone with dial-up connections to get a hold of
the archives or for those trying to save space.

CAB even did better in this instance than the latest versions of ACE & RAR

Enjoy
