Well, yes and no.

Yes, because it's free and (IIRC) open-source.

No, because it doesn't support that compression
type that Unisys has a patent on (LZW?), so I
guess it won't decompress a file using this.

Also, no because it *still* (last time I checked !!!)
doesn't support floppy disk spawning (have I got
that terminology right ... ?).

Joe.
