Whats the situation here? um... i've installed windows ME a couple of times, and i've never seen winzip anywhere... as far as i know it's not included... windows ME has a compressed folders feature, which does use the zip file format, but that's not WinZip as far as i know... if you actually have WinZip, then it is shareware, and you have to pay for it after the trial period if you continue using it... if you're using the compressed folders feature built into ME, then you've paid for it when you paid for Windows, and you don't have to pay again... michael

Whats the situation here? Is winzip supplied as part of me, or does me have the ability to read / create zip files? There's a difference between distributing / incorporating a product, and licensing / incorporating technology compatible with a product.

Hilgraeve, McAfee and Symantec spring to mind as companies who have had their software bundled into microsoft stuff, the stuff that was included wasn't "chargable" shareware, but they all offered pay-for upgrades to the full versions of their software or for updates... > Apologies for being obtuse. indeed michael
