Yes. Zip is cross-platform. Of course, the poster of the X comment does not say "OSX Zip archiving" so there may be some confusion as to whether that poster is using Zip or some other archiving tool (there are others on OS X). >From the "ZipIt" Web Site. (Note the very last sentence. I think that clears up the "another OS" question). "The zip format is popular on the IBM, and is widely used as an interplatform compression format. In addition, ZipIt can compress Macintosh applications and documents without losing any of their data. ZipIt is best used when transferring compressed documents to and from other computer types." [ Pardon their use of "interplatform". That's not _really_ a word. :) ] -- Gary -- To unsubscribe: send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> FMPexperts is hosted by Ironclad Networks <http://www.ironclad.net.au/>
