I didn't care about the controversy I just remember re-packing all of my files in .zip to save more space on my BBS.

That reminds me of ARJ, I have no memory of why, but I was a much bigger fan of ARJ than zip.

Me too. ARJ was easier to use IIRC, specially with muli-volume archives (frequent if you had to split an archive into several diskettes).

I used ARJ mostly, until RAR came in, of course ;)
