I don't know what boards you use, but 99% of the software on 99% of the BBS's in the USA (which tend to be DOS, not Amiga), is ZIP'ed, not LHARCed. Most of the software on public access and university systems is ZOO'ed (which makes sense, since it is the most portable, if not the most efficient.) Some of the Amiga boards around here in San Diego are ZOOing their software, as well... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Norman R.
