Would that be like... a reverse fork? A defork? A korf?
Oh heck, let's just call it a spoon.
Nice. Really, anything that had solid support would be nice. My company delivers data to customers and our customers use all sorts of operating systems. Plain Zip seems to be our lowest common denominator because we can’t count on our customers being tech-savvy or having an IT department.

I really, really, really wish there were more compression standards that were supported on a wide variety of platforms. “Obscure” software package A just doesn’t cut it.
