Yes, I understand what you mean... with diplomacy like yours, you might be 
able to do quite well selling "new" technology and perhaps I should 
resurrect that old thing and get you to market it for me:) OTOH perhaps not.

Well I must say that I'm surprised anyone besides me remembers that he liked 
young women too much:)

Nope that's not the link. I like women my own age which may seem strange to 
the younger guys since I am getting up there. Even girls in their 20's look 
like boys to me nowadays... compared to the Reubenesque Ideal of Womanhood 
that I tend to worship:)  We could probably make some further connotations 
fit for the late Mr. ArbucklE such as superior compression beneath his great 
girth but that does not paint a pretty picture of poor old Fatty. If there 
was any FAT implied in the name it would be MS-DOS's File Allocation Table, 
with the AR- for archive, and my last name (BUCKELS) being used synonomously 
with "buckling" AKA compression to create a "buckled" archiving...

This utility which really does exist "buckled" and "unbuckled" instead of 
"zipping" and "unzipping". Now how silly was that!

Marcus, for you, if you want a copy I'll send it to you. No support for long 
filenames though, but still works.

Like I say, I never took this further and just wrote it to learn about such 
things. But you'll be smarter to say no:)
