Alternatively, compress4.0 ported to the MAC would be >acceptable. MacCompress will do what you want. I run compress on everything I download, then uncompress a whole folder on the Mac. Saves loads of download time. It'll also compress regular Mac files, resource forks and all. Works better than Stuffit (since you can run it in the background); in fact, I've taken to using it as an archiving tool instead of Stuffit, since a folder full of compressed files is easier to deal with than a Stuffit archive. I think v3.2 is the most current version. It should be on all the major BBS systems, though I don't know about FTP. -- Steve Baumgarten | "New York... when civilization falls apart, Davis Polk & Wardwell | remember, we were way ahead of you." baumgart@esquire.dpw.com | cmcl2!esquire!baumgart | - David Letterman
