If I ez a file with a certain zip in it, it gets about half-way through displaying the zip before it crashes. From this, I conjecture that the code is getting dynamically loaded just fine, but there's a bug in zipview that is not manifest on other machines. If I start with a fresh zip inset, it seems to work for a while and then crash. Has anyone else tried using zip on a Decstation 3100 or 5000? Or does it work fine for everyone else but not for me? For anyone interested in investigating, I will send the offending zip inset on request. (I'd put it in this mail message, but I'm afraid it might crash Messages for anyone who uses a Decstation!) -- Nathaniel
