.PAK files.
Larry,
I don't know if the problem is peculiar to Montreal, but I've lost the phone
line during a download more than once in the past, and expect that to happen
again in the future. Obviously, the bigger the file, the less chance I have of
a successful download.
The .PAK format is great for new users, but what the rest of us want is an
archive program that compresses *more* efficiently than .ARC. With Sculpt 3D,
etc., we're starting the see .arc files up to about 500K in the DLs, and I
don't dare try to download those!
Count me as a vote AGAINST archive programs that produce bigger files than .ARC
(including .PAK) and FOR any new archive program that gives us *smaller* files.
Regards, Vince
