can specify a preferred archiving format and
Pulsar will always convert all other archive
files to that format automatically. (The
author can no longer be reached at the
address listed in the documentation.)

SCRNCH.ZIP Yes 53296 5/29/1989
Scrnch 1.02 is a file compression utility for
software developers. It creates a very small
self-extracting file. The disadvantage of
SCRNCH is that it takes a LONG time to
compress a file. (The extraction is very
quick, however.) This combination of factors
is why Scrnch is targeted at software
developers who distribute many copies of the
same program, rather than at the general
public who may want to combine and compress
files more routinely and quickly. (Graeme W.
McRae) (Reg.Fee: $35)

Slim 1.10a is a 73k TSR and file that can
greatly increase the effective space on your
hard disk. You can compress files with it and
it uncompresses them automatically when you

spare the RAM, you will gain a LOT of disk
space. NOTE: Slim is NOT an EXE file
compressor. (Dominic Herity) (ASP) (Reg.Fee:

files. (Jim Miller) (ASP) (Reg.Fee: $25)
ST_EXP.ZIP Yes 86102 2/11/1990
ST-EXP compresses and expands text files.
The good news is that it even out-compresses
LHA by over 25%. A 122k text file was
compressed to 57k by LHA and to 40k by
ST-EXP. Now the bad news: it only works on
one file at a time, it cannot be used on
non-text files and it costs $25-$50 to
register (versus $0 for LHA). Also, if you
are compressing a file to give to someone
else, with ST-EXP you have to give them at
least the 30k EXP.EXE program with which to
extract, if not the entire package. With LHA,
you can create a self-extracting file that
requires no other software. So ST-EXP is not
ideal for something like shareware
distribution, but should be very worthwhile
for those needing to compress text files on
their own hard disk or for backup storage on
floppies. (MicroComputer Square) (Reg.Fee:
$25-$50)
