In principle this is a good idea but I see two problems: 1. Someone has to port the tool to Java. 2. AFAIK applets are not allowed to write to the disk without changing security settings. I really can't understand why it is a real problem to install one tool for the download. Some years ago when Windows did not include a ZIP compression utility million of Windows users managed without problems to install WinZIP or a similar tool to unzip ZIP files as you find them all over the net. Almost nobody complains why the included files are not stored uncompressed on the web servers. Robert -- Robert Schiele Tel.: +49-621-181-2214 Dipl.-Wirtsch.informatiker mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
