Nick,
That is correct. I tried it as well, got the same results.
The reason is that 95% of the PDF are jpeg-files, and they are compressed already. And compressing an compressed file gives no further results. Otherwise, the first compress wasn't good.

You're right Don. Pictures, music etc. are hard to compress due to the
density of information in the file. I tried just now to see what it would do
to a *pdf file. The first mess file (3.75Mb) was zipped down to (3.72Mb).
The one we got the other day (533Kb) was zipped down to 482Kb. Smaller...
but not that radical.

There are some file types where WinZip does a very good job... but there are
also file types where it doesn't make much difference at all.

Jimi,

>From what I have been told, .jpeg's don't compress well.
I'll try to send you one zipped.

Do you have a cd drive on your pc?

Was wondering, would it be possible to zip the last mess swap photos 
with win-zip so I could receive them? 3 meg was way to much for my 
dial up and server, they had to delete the message because it was 
clogging up the
    
system
  
and I could never get it. Others had the same problem, like Deb I 
think. Thanks, Jimi
