All of you use PSPad and you are proud of it, wondering how 99% people still use NotePad. Because they stick with what is standard and works. Please give 7Zip a try (www.7-zip.org) or a nicer shell TUGZip (http://www.tugzip.com/) which is compatible with all other compression formats. Of course both are freewares. In the compression world, 7Zip (freeware) and RAR (proprietary) are the best. That's it. If you don't need all the advanced features of the RAR format (mostly in used by heavy downloaders) then 7Zip is more than enough. I have tried 7Zip 2 months ago, now it becomes my default archiver. Even if my company paid me a Winzip license. Except MS install, PSPad is the only software I know of which is distributed in CAB format. PSPad is a jewel in the freeware category, it would be nice if it could honor its 7Zip fellow as well. Even if CAB or 7Zip doesn't matter at the end, but the symbolic value is high. -- PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
