You said that macutils, unlzx, undms, and others belonged in emulators because they handle archives used on other operating systems. The macutil import was a blunder, for sure (I should have done a ``make search key'' at the least). However, I've never seen anything in the PH/PCG stating that programs intended to handle archiving formats primarily used on other OSs should go in emulators. Personally, I see no good reason why they should be in emulators. Perhaps you could clear up the matter for me ?
