Hi
Just want to mention one pitfall in WinZip - by default it CR/LFs
all files
extracted from a tar archive (unless you turn that option off).
Note that
the option is NOT on the "extract files" dialog.
It hosed 150Mb of .deb files today - and I didn't realise until I
had
burned them onto a CD. I couldn't believe that was what it was
doing at
first. "Nah", I thought, "how would it know which files were
binaries?"
Turns out it doesn't know. It doesn't care either.
In case you want to avoid this happening to you, note that
PowerArchiver
is more or less like WinZip but it can handle bzip2 as well, and
it's FREE.
Peter
