Other nice things about 7-zip: The GUI is very simple and easy. No wizards, everything is in a single window. It can create self-extracting archives. Better yet, it can create encrypted, compressed, password protected, self-extracting archives.

ARC is still around. Howard Chu released it on a GPL in 2003. It can be found in a lonely area of sourceforge.net.

I was always amazed about how quick pkzip replaced SEA ARC as the standard.

As my rusty memory recalls, Phil Katz (the "PK" in PKZip) originally crafted a clone of the SEA ARC compression utility called PKARC. SEA sued Phil, so he created his own compression standard - ZIP - in 1989. At the time the computer bulletin board systems were awash with different compression types - ZIP was fast, efficient, and free. BBS operators began to use it in droves. I'll have to give 7-Zip a try!
