No. ;-)

I fact I compress everything with GNU ZIP (built into the file
commander I use daily) to have a common standard. I convert
all other archives (on the PC platform) to it to have a single
common standard that everybody can work with - even if
better compression ratios cam be achieved with other tools.

But thanks anyway!
