COMPRESS.EXE comes with the SDK. It actually forms a part of the Microsoft Setup ToolKit, since its main purpose is, of course, in installation programs. As to how you can get it - I'm afraid I can't help you there. You could try asking Borland if they can supply it. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Chris Marriott | chris@chrism.demon.co.uk | | Warrington, UK | BIX: cmarriott | | (Still awaiting inspiration | CIX: cmarriott | | for a witty .sig .... ) | CompuServe: 100113,1140 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
