WaveZIP - A closed source, Windows-only archiver. Uses the <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/sndspace/index.html">MUSICompress</A>[tm] engine which supposedly has a patent. I used to have a link to the company that makes WaveZIP (GadgetLabs) but apparently they have gone out of business (maybe for trying to sell something that should cost nothing).
