The friend you mentioned still had to figure out what all the little gadgets were at the bottom middle of the screen (the H, U, S, E, D, plus arrows) and the myriad of expand and compress menu choices. You mean he/she can remember all those but not remember ZOO x filename ?? Plus, you must click, click, click, click, click -- just to set destination, source and zip. :decent compression (at least as good as Zoo in shrink mode), and is :30-40% faster than Zoo in shrink mode. What more could you want? :-) Fast? Yes. What more? A command line option. That's the whole point. No one said trash the intuition part. People would like to see a trimmed down version with CLI support. That's all. :-- :Chris (Insert phrase here) Seaman | /|__|\__/|__|\ :crs@cpsc6a.att.com | | | Where does he get :...!att!cpsc6a!crs | | /\/\ /\/\ | those Wonderful toys? :The Home of the Killer Smiley | \| \/ |/ -- Joel E.
