>Am looking for program to uncompress zipped files for windows–thanks!< I flat out LOVE WinZip : Nico Mak Computing, Inc., P.O. Box 919, Bristol, CT 06011. I know its around here, perhaps GO MSWIN. It's shareware so you can try before you buy. It will act as a shell for most archivers (PKZIP, LZH, etc.) and does some of its own ZIPPING/UNZIPPING. Highly recommended! ..mark

John, The most popular ZIP unarchiver for MSDOS and Windows platforms is PKZIP, found as PK204G.EXE in the "Compression/UU" library (#11) of our Graphics Support Forum (GO GRAPHSUP). It opens a DOS box in Windows to do its work, but you're sure of ZIP compatibility. We also have a help file, authored by Bruce Herzog of our staff, which can help you get it installed and running properly. GO GRFWELCOME and check out the "Handling ZIP/ARC/UU" library (#16) for PK204G.TXT.
