I don't know how this could be verified, however. But then again, who hasn't got the HD space to store a 10MB exe versus a 4MB exe? I fail to see any sense in a compressed executable, and for transfers an archiver does a better job anyway because multiple files can be bundled. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Violence breeds more violence, and it is predicted that by 1990 kidnapping will be the dominant mode of social interaction. -- Woody Allen ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.9.2 Pre-beta | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
