   Hello Wilfred,   
      
   On Sunday August 20 2023 15:08, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV>>> And maybe remove the more obscure ones (pak, zoo, arj, sqz, uc,   
    WV>>> jar). I wonder if there ever was anyone who used any of those!? ;-)

    WV> keep the defaults...   
      
   I was thinking about allowing the user to define his own compression method. A   
   method that is not in the list (yet). There is an option "Custom" but I am   
   unsure how that works. It may be usefull in the unlikely eventy an new   
   compression method pops up that is ideal for use in Fidonet. :)   
      
    WV> But on the other hand, why remove them. It doesn't hurt to keep them,   
    WV> although maybe no one uses them.   
      
   I am in favour of throwing out no longer used stuff. KISS..   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
