Yes, which is a pretty important piece of information if you're developing for Windows... <snipped OTT anti-MSoft ranting> And, as a Windows user, I'd like to say that when downloading software, most of it has been in pkzip/winzip files (*.zip) rather than gzip files (*.gz). Not as it is on Linux, I know, but another pretty important piece of information when you're developing for Windows. Anyway, all this is moot since, as Allan pointed out, using the zlib library eliminates the need for the user to somehow find a copy of gzip. So my solution was a good one after all... Nick
