Thank you to everyone that has responded to this post.  The response
has been great - unfortunately.  I look more and more an idiot with
every response.

I *HAVE*  pkzip/pkunzip, WinZip, arj and rar, but did not think of
using them.  I'm used to those files just sitting in the background
working quietly away.  I guess I was looking for something a little
more fancy and just couldn't see the forest for the trees.

Oh well.  I payed for my stupidity.  I have had to respond to over 50
email replies in just the first day since my post.  Unfortunately
because of the urgency of the situation, I cross posted this to around
ten groups I felt may be relevant, which has meant even more replies -
most which have made me feel pretty stupid for missing the obvious.

Once again thanks to all who responded.

Cheers
Darren
