Larry, Since disk space must be limited on CIS, I can see little advantage in allowing files to occupy more space than we know is necessary. While I'm all for freedom of expression, wasting space in the DL area hurts us all. One thing I would absolutely forbid is the existance of the same program in 2 different 'packed' forms. I have never used PAK, so I don't know how convenient it is, but I certainly have reservations about not being able to see what is in the file before executing it.
