Presumably you mean tar and gzip, because gzip only compresses single files; in which case the answer is a qualified 'yes' - qualified because earlier versions of Winzip (and no, I don't remember when it changed) don't do compressed tar files. I believe this info is also on the Winzip site. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
