FSetup was renamed to FConfig for the 1.69 version. Are you sure you are using 2.0 ? ;)

Also since FMail is Win32 only now. The specific Compression/32 and Decompression/32 were removed. You can just use the Compression and Decompression settings. I guess the docs need to be updated to fully reflect this.

I use these settings:

ARC   arc a
ZIP   zip -jq9
LZH   lha aif -q1

ARC   arc en
ZIP   unzip -ojq %a -d %f
LZH   lha eqi -w=%f %a

They work for both Windows and Linux, if you have those programs in your path. For windows these are the info lines the programs print on screen:
