But you'll have to create a tar file and compress that. Opening this with WinZip is a 2 step process because WinZip wants to know if you want to untar as well as uncompress it. But it's a minor inconvenience. This solution falls under the category of "extracting the files from the current ZIP and then rezipping them with my new files". -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
