Compressing FLCs

Two 321 Meg hard drives used to be able to contain files from the many applications I use. It took me about 2 years before they got full for the first time. When I started using AniPro, I found it necessary to remove my other applications, and associated data files, from these drives, to make space. Now, the drives contain almost exclusively FLC's. I create over 50-100 Meg more per day. It is inconvenient to run out of space on a daily basis, and unproductive to have to discard much of my work. (I generate my FLCs for educational purposes and need to keep the intermediate steps used to achieve the final results). What tools could I use to compress my FLCs more than by a factor of 2 (PKZIP)? Are JPEG, MPEG, fractal conpression, etc. applicable? Can I obtain compression programs through CompuServe?

I think the best solution is an application of cool, hard cash to your disk drive. About $1000 would help it turn into a one-gig drive.
