Yes I think it is, and we have a new, quite a bit more efficient 'zipper' for 
linux that was just announced, using a new, much larger window for the 
dictionary like bz2 uses so it detects and factors out redundancy's over a 
20 Gb dir tree that is full of say 200 copies of the kernel source code, 
and smunching the output file to less than 2% of the original size.

As I said, it appears that ark, which is a gui that manages all the 
compression tools in one window, can show me a directory listing, and I 
assume it can unpack it when I get a directory prepared.  Not to worry in 
other words, and thanks much for the offer.
