Just to add my two cents worth (I can't actually - NZ no longer has 2c coins): This guy doesn't have to use PKZIP *at all*. He can download .ZIP's from a BBS (or the net) and unzip them with DEZIP - a PD unzipper. If he uses Phil's excellent package anymore then he should register it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick FitzGerald, PC Applications Consultant, CSC, Uni of Canterbury, N.Z.
