Dilwyn, If it is OK to distribute the Unzip file, then I will also put a copy on my web site, together with any explanation text that emerges from this conversation. You are right, these small technical issues are rather daunting when you first try them out. FileInfo II does take some setting up too. Perhaps Jim will include an "easy unzip" option in his QDT as it develops ? Or your own Launchpad ? Desktop systems are meant to take away all this "pain" ... :-) Hence software like WinZip, just sits there on a PC, waiting to be invoked by the user. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
