While I have all sort of unpackers installed, less knowledgable (and less intolerant) family members and friends have not. They have enough to do to grasp the concept of file archives - giving them different ones only increases their confusion. Additionally the file commander I use (Total Commander) supports ZIP archives better than other formats. It really works seamlessly (archives are treated like normal directories for most options) and very quickly. > Of course I use ShrinkIT on Apple II. That seems to be > the standard archiver of late. And, with Ciderpress, > ShrinkIT can even be opened on the Intel Based PC's. Same here. bye Marcus
