Subject: Is there a good archiving tool ?

Is there a public domain archiving tool for CP/M that compresses files
as they are inserted in the archive ?  I am helping out a friend who
is starting out with a CP/M system but myself come from a DOS
background.

He is working on a system with a allocation blocksize of 4K and many
of his files are typically 3K of WordStar text and so he reaches the
directory entries limit of 128 files with only 30% of the disk used.

Thanks in advance.

Peter Green.
